Abstract

a), and are pre-fixed to the latter, and the head housing (1) is then cast from the open side, which only brings about the firm connection between the evaluation electronics (12) on the one hand and the functional rod (FS) on the other after curing. This results in a fully functional unit (PS-F), which can also be tested and programmed, but which is nevertheless housed by the customer-depending on the application in a further protective housing (100), usually made of metal.

Abstract

In order to arrange a sensor unit completely in an interior e.g. of a cylinder of a piston cylinder unit and in order to be able to use a tension element sensor as a sensor the sensor unit is configured so that it includes a pressure tight wall through which a magnetic field sensitive sensor is configured to detect a magnetic field of an encoder magnet that moves on another side of the pressure tight wall and represents a rotational position and rotations of the winding drum whereas a housing of the sensor unit is sealed relative to an interior of the cylinder so that the sensor cavity in which the sensor is arranged represents a low pressure cavity which is advantageously only subjected to ambient pressure. This avoids hollow boring of the piston rod and no magnetic field permeable window has to be fabricated in a wall or in a base of the cylinder.

Abstract

The tension element position sensor includes three housing elements, wherein the two outer housing elements are configured pot shaped with a base towards a center housing component, wherein one element is the spring motor and the other is the rotation angle sensor. Thus the rotation angle sensor includes two Hall sensors, wherein an encoder magnet rotates as a function of the rotation of the winding drum opposite to the faces of the Hall sensors on the face side of one respective gear of two gears meshing with one another. Herein the arrangement of the gears and circuit boards in the receiver of this lateral housing component is of particular importance. Also the spring motor can be completely preassembled and stored in a closed manner.

Abstract

In order to be able to deflect a free end of a measuring band of a measuring band sensor not only in a direction transversal to an inlet plane according to the invention the free end of the measuring band 3 arranged outside of the housing is twisted about its longitudinal axis by 90° at the most. This facilitates deflections of a total of 180°. When a deflection within the remaining 180° shall be facilitated, a torsion of the free end of the measuring band also has to be provided by 90°, but in the other direction with respect to the inlet plane.

Abstract

The rotational position of an encoder magnet can be scanned over more than 360° by respective sensor elements in that magnets are disposed on different stages of a suitable transmission, in particular of a differential transmission, and the magnets are scanned by separate sensor elements, whose signals are computed with one another and yield a total number of revolutions. In particular, when an assembly of this type shall be built very small, undesirable magnetic interferences for the sensor elements have to be avoided through flux conductor elements since the interferences distort the measurement results. Thus, a differentiation is made between active and passive flux conductor elements.

Abstract

In order to be able to perform a measurement of the run time of an electrical impulse in a position sensor through a single slow timed timing generator, while still capable to achieve a high precision of the measurement result, the entire run time is determined, so that the number of the completely performed system timings is counted as a coarse time value, and the fractions thereof are counted as a fine time value, in which the electrical impulse is started at a fixed point in time of the system timing, e.g. at the beginning of the timing, and the difference value is measured between the end of the coarse time interval and the arrival of the wave as a fine time interval, which is then digitized and computed with the coarse time value.

Abstract

Inclination sensors with magnetic XMR- or Hall-sensor-principles were implemented in the past by the pivotably supported indicator magnet being supported on the front face of the axle of a pendulum, with the consequence that the static friction of the support had to be overcome first, before the inclination sensor would react. Thereby very small and very slow inclinations often could not be detected. These designs always have a large amount of hysteresis. According to the invention this problem is being solved by the indicator magnet being mounted either on a float, or on a pendulum that is being supported ferrofluidic, whereby the static friction is much smaller or eliminated entirely.

Abstract

The invention relates to a sensor element and to a path sensor constructed therefrom. The optical waveguide accommodated inside a supporting body, for example, a tube has to be placed in a defined position with regard to the elements of a board. In order to obtain a design that is both simple and easy to assemble, the invention provides that the head board, without its own surrounding housing, is fixed, for instance, glued directly inside a recess of the supporting body that is tubular for the most part.

Abstract

In order to determine the run time of a current impulse on a position sensor by means of only one clock having low clock speed and still achieve a high precision of the measurement, the total run time is determined in such a manner that the number of completed system clock pulses is counted as a rough time value and the fractions thereof as a precision time value, the current impulse being started at a determined time of the system clock pulse, e.g. at the start of the cycle, and the difference value between the end of the rough time interval and the arrival of the wave being measured as a precision time interval. Said difference value is then digitized and computed with the rough time value.
