Abstract

Provided is a magnet device for use with a position sensor. The magnet device has a magnetizing direction and has magnetic field intensity components in the magnetizing direction. The magnet device is formed with a groove recessed in the magnetizing direction, so that the magnetic field intensity components are substantially equal in the transverse direction of the magnetizing direction. The present invention further discloses a magnet assembly including the magnet device for use with a position sensor and a sensing system including the magnet assembly, particularly a neutral position sensor. The axial measuring length of a transmission shaft is prolonged with the length of the magnet device remains unchanged to meet the requirements of different customers, and the reliability of the sensing system is improved.
