Latest Patents
One of Kabashima's latest patents is a small size magnetic encoder unit with low power consumption. This invention provides a magnetic encoder unit that can detect an angle in not more than one turn and an amount of multi-turn. The design includes a permanent magnet that is magnetized in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of a rotating member, which is fixed to the rotating member. Additionally, it features a magnetic field detecting element that is positioned opposite the permanent magnet with a gap in between, along with a signal processing circuit that processes signals from the magnetic field detecting element. The unit also incorporates multi-turn detecting means, which includes a multi-turn magnetic field detecting element and a multi-turn signal processing circuit to detect the amount of multi-turn from the signal.
Another notable patent is a magnetic encoder device and actuator. This device is capable of detecting the rotating angle of an actuator that has a cavity structure. It consists of a ring-shaped rotating body and a ring-shaped permanent magnet that is inscribed in and fixed to the inner circumferential side of the rotating body. The magnet is also magnetized in a direction perpendicular to the center axis of the rotating body. The device includes a fixed body that is placed on the inner circumferential side of the permanent magnet through an air gap, featuring a circular circumference and a cavity. A magnetic field detecting element is positioned on the outer circumferential side of the fixed body through the permanent magnet and the air gap.
