Abstract
The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a position sensor system that includes a sensor housing defining a first cavity having a first face, a fluid effector including an actuator housing having an inner surface defining a second cavity, and a moveable body having a second face and configured for reciprocal movement within the second cavity, an acoustic transmitter system configured to emit a first emitted acoustic waveform toward the first face, and emit a second emitted acoustic waveform toward the second face, and an acoustic receiver system configured to detect a first reflected acoustic waveform based on a first reflection of the first emitted acoustic waveform based on the first face, and detect a second reflected acoustic waveform based on a second reflection of the second emitted acoustic waveform based on the second face.
