Abstract
A position sensor for sensing linear or radial position including at least two magnetic conductive structures, at least two magnets and a magnetic flux responsive device. The at least two magnetic conductive structures, include a first magnetic conductive structure and a second magnetic conductive structure. The first magnetic conductive structure being substantially parallel with the second magnetic conductive structure. The at least two magnets, including a first magnet and a second magnet. The first magnet being in contact with the first magnetic conductive structure and with the second magnetic conductive structure. The second magnet being in contact with both the first magnetic conductive structure and the second magnetic conductive structure. The magnetic flux responsive device constrained to travel a path that is partially located between the first magnetic conductive structure and the second magnetic conductive structure, with the path extending beyond at least one of the at least two magnets.
