Abstract
A magnetic sensor includes a sensor housing having a front end directed toward a member to be sensed. A magneto-electric transducer is mounted in the sensor housing and disposed adjacent to the front end of the sensor housing. A magnetic flux-collecting chip of a high-permeability material is supported on the front end of the sensor housing. The magnetic flux-collecting chip is disposed forwardly of the magneto-electric transducer. The magnetic flux-collecting chip has an exposed front face directed away from the magneto-electric transducer. The sensing ability or performance of the magneto-electric transducer is substantially determined by a magnetic gap between the front face of the magnetic flux-collecting chip and the member to be sensed.
