Abstract
A rotor sensor target for magnetic bearings, the rotor sensor target comprising a ring-shaped assembly of magnetic material mounted on a generally ring-shaped assembly of non-magnetic material. The magnetic and non-magnetic ring shaped assemblies are coaxially arranged and mounted on a shaft having a longitudinal axis of rotation X'-X. The generally ring-shaped assembly of non-magnetic material comprises at least one ring-shaped slit having the longitudinal axis X′-X and may be made of a cheaper material, such as aluminum. The ring-shaped slit provides flexibility which permits operation over a wide range of temperatures without risking of damaging the ring-shaped assembly of magnetic material.
