Abstract
A positioning assembly includes a position sensor and a magnetic actuator, the actuator including a stator assembly formed of at least one ferromagnetic stator bearing at least one electric power supply coil and a yoke able to move relative to the stator assembly, the actuator having a geometry that is of revolution or periodic about an axis referred to as the main axis passing through the yoke, the sensor having at least one permanent magnet secured to the yoke and at least one magneto-sensitive probe that is fixed in relation to the magnet and able to measure the amplitude or direction of the magnetic field emitted by the magnet. The yoke has an interior recess including the main axis of the actuator, and the magnet is positioned inside the recess and secured to the yoke.
