Abstract
A rotary position sensor apparatus includes a magnet having a surface and a plurality of Hall components placed in association with the surface of the magnet. The Hall components are located on a neutral axis of the magnet thereby forming a rotary position sensor apparatus having an enhanced linearity, a reduced calibration time and a compact size. A printed circuit board (PCB) can also be provided and the Hall components mounted to the PCB. The magnet preferably possesses a rectangular shape, but other shapes may be implemented depending upon design considerations.
