<p>A rotational position sensing device includes at least one sensor positioned adjacent a rotating component configured to rotate about an axis of rotation. At least one magnet is positioned at the rotating component such that a magnetic field of the at least one magnet affects the sensor and magnetizes a portion of the rotating component. The at least one sensor is configured to produce an output signal indicative of a magnetic flux, and therefore a position, of the rotating component. A method of sensing a position of a rotating component includes magnetizing a portion of a rotating component with a magnet and measuring a magnetic flux of the rotating component as it rotates about an axis of rotation. An output signal is generated that is indicative of the position of the rotating component.</p> |
