A sensor for identifying the position of a test object has a strip-shaped core of low magnetic coercivity which is magnetized with opposite polarities by two excitation coils disposed at opposite ends of the core, and a secondary coil wrapped around the core between the two excitation coils. The test object generates a magnetic field which saturates the core at a location corresponding to the position of the test object between the two excitation coils, thereby simulating an air gap in the core at this location. The voltage across the terminals of the secondary coil changes in accordance with the position of the simulated air gap, thus providing a signal indicating the position of the test object.

A torque sensor has a magnetic foil which is wound and attached to a rotating shaft in strip form at an angle to the shaft axis of rotation, the magnetic strip being mechanically stressed dependent upon the torque acting on the shaft, and generating voltages in two secondary windings surrounding the magnetic strips. The voltages will be different due to different forces acting on the two strips, this being a measure of the torque acting on the shaft. The strips are formed from stamped segments cut obliquely from an amorphous tape which is cast with a profiled cross-machine cross section having regions of varying thickness. Such a tape can be manufactured using a nozzle having a correspondingly shaped orifice opening through which molten amorphous alloy is discharged onto a moving cooling surface.

Ferro-magnetic foil for a torque sensor

Method for manufacturing a torque sensor

In a system for the elimination of radio noise, both balanced-to-ground as well as unbalanced-to-ground noise currents are employed. Attenuation is achieved by employing current-compensated noise elimination chokes whose leakage inductance is increased by a magnetic shunt. In order to simply manufacture a magnetic shunt which can be distributed well over the windings, the choke is provided in a container filled with a casting compound, and a powder consisting of a material with good magnetic conductivity is embedded in the casting compound in the proximity of the choke.
