A linear actuator comprising a first assembly, a second assembly, and a magnetic sensor. The second assembly is linearly movable with respect to the first assembly such that the linear actuator is configured so as to be in one of a plurality of linear positions. The first assembly and the second assembly cooperatively define a magnetic pathway. The magnetic pathway is configured to vary in length with linear movement of the first assembly with respect to the second assembly. The magnetic sensor is configured to output a signal indicative of the magnetic field flux routed via the magnetic pathway.

Linear actuator with position indicator

An electrical bus bar system () is provided for mounting a plurality of current sensor devices () in close proximity to each other, each of the current sensor devices () having a sense axis (). The system includes a plurality of elongate bus bars () extending along longitudinal axes () parallel to each other. The bus bars () are spaced from each other along a transverse axis () that extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axes (). Each bus bar has a current sensor mount portion () configured to mount one of the current sensor devices () with the sense axis () extending parallel to the transverse axis ().

Current sensor with stray magnetic field rejection

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a mounting adapter which connects to a current sensor and provides an alignment of a bus bar to the current sensor while securely mounting the current sensor to the bus bar. In some embodiments, a mounting adapter may be inserted into an aperture of the current sensor. A bus bar may then be inserted into an aperture in the mounting adapter sized to receive the bus bar and to align it within the current sensor. The bus bar may substantially fill the entire aperture space which may lock the mounting adapter to the current sensor. In some embodiments the bus bar may be secured to the mounting adapter. The secure alignment and coupling of the bus bar to the current sensor via an exemplary mounting adapter may eliminate the need for separate mounting and alignment of the bus bar and current sensor.
