Abstract
A multi-turn non-contact sensor includes a rotationally mounted driver magnet, and a rotationally mounted driven magnet. The driver magnet has a first number (P) of magnetic poles and is configured to selectively receive a rotational drive torque and, upon receipt of the drive torque, to rotate about a first rotational axis. The driven magnet is spaced apart from, and is coupled to receive a magnetic force from, the driver magnet. The driven magnet has a second number (P) of magnetic poles and is responsive to rotation of the driver magnet to rotate about a second rotational axis that is parallel to the first rotational axis. The driven magnet rotates one complete revolution each time the driver magnet rotates a predetermined number (N) of complete revolutions, P>P, and N=(P/P).
