Methods, apparatuses and systems for providing a position sensing component are disclosed herein. An example position sensing component may comprise: a sensing coil; a moveable core disposed within the sensing coil; an oscillator circuit; and a feedback control circuit coupled to the oscillator circuit, wherein the position sensing component is configured to: maintain a fixed amplitude voltage in response to a variable current signal provided by the oscillator circuit in conjunction with the feedback control circuit, and generate an oscillator circuit output signal that is linearly proportional to a position of the moveable core with respect to the sensing coil.

Linear position sensing components

Example systems, apparatuses and methods are disclosed for gear reduction. An example system comprises a second gear configured to be disposed in mesh with a first gear coupled to an input shaft. The system further comprises a carrier housing configured to be fixably disposed within the second gear. The system further comprises a third gear configured to be disposed within the carrier housing; a fourth gear configured to be disposed in mesh with the third gear, wherein the third gear is further configured to rotate about the fourth gear; an anti-backlash gear coupled to the fourth gear and configured to be disposed in mesh with the third gear; and a fifth gear configured to be disposed in mesh with the third gear. The second gear, the fourth gear, the anti-backlash gear, and the fifth gear are configured to be disposed along a common axis of rotation.
