Abstract
Magnetic position sensors include features to enhance performance and durability. In many embodiments, a magnetic position sensor includes a magnetically permeable core and a coil. The core has a central axis and a core length along the central axis. The coil is configured to generate output an electric signal in response to a magnetic field. The coil has a coil length along the central axis that is less than the core length. In some embodiments, a magnetic position sensor includes a magnetically permeable core, a coil, a pair of signal wires, and a third wire. The coil is configured to output an electric signal in response to a magnetic field. The pair of signal wires is connected to and extends from the coil. The third wire extends along a length of the pair of signal wires and is configured to reinforce the pair of signal wires.
