Sensor device for controlling function of spatially arranged e.g. motor-driven gear, has lever connected with magnetic element, and magnetic sensor transforming position and alignment of magnetic element into electrical signal

摘要

The device has a lever (1) tiltably supported around a shaft (13) and pivotable around a pivot axis running perpendicular to the shaft. The lever is mechanically decoupled by a transmission or a gear. The lever is mechanically connected with a magnetic element (7) i.e. electromagnet, that produces magnetic field. A magnetic sensor (12) comprising an evaluation unit i.e. micro-controller, transforms position and alignment of the magnetic element into an electrical signal for controlling function of the transmission or gear.
