Magnetostrictive position sensor

摘要

The sensor has a magnetostrictive element (3), a detector and an impulse generator with a magnetic element (1). The magnetic element or the magnetostrictive element is implemented flexibly to reduce the distance between the elements by pressurizing on a position at one of the elements. The sensor has a readjusting device to re-establish the distance between the elements when the pressure was exerted on one of the elements. An independent claim is also included for the method for position determination using magnetostrictive position sensor.
