Position sensor, such as angle sensor or linear sensor for detecting position, has magnetic fields of coil unit and permanent magnet that are superimposed on another magnetic field to actuate actuating portion at actuation position

摘要

The position sensor (1) has a magnetic unit (8), which comprises a coil unit and a permanent magnet, and which generates the magnetic force. The coil unit and the permanent magnet are arranged, so that the magnetic fields of the coil unit and the permanent magnet are superimposed on another magnetic field (B) to actuate an actuating portion (7) at an actuation position (P). The two electrodes (4,5) that are arranged on two support structures (2,3) form a potentiometer device that extends along a measurement path (M).
