Abstract
In a first aspect, a magnetic position sensor system for a magnetic target, includes: (i) a first sensor for measuring in a first sensing region a first magnetic field component Balong a direction x and a second magnetic field component Balong a direction z, orthogonal to x; (ii) a second sensor for measuring in a second sensing region—aligned to the first sensing region along the x-direction—a first magnetic field component Balong the x-direction and a second magnetic field component Balong the z-direction; and (iii) an axially-magnetized ring magnet arranged under the first and second sensing region such that an axial direction of the ring magnet is substantially parallel to the z-direction and—in operation—a position of the ring magnet with respect to the first and second sensing regions is fixed.
