SHOCK ABSORBER WITH INTEGRATED DISPLACEMENT SENSOR

摘要

A shock absorber (10) include a cylinder (14), a piston rod (16 ) coupled to the cylinder, and a piston coupled to the piston rod (16). The piston rod is magnetically encoded so that it includes a plurality of magnetic phase shifts. The phase shifts allow the position of the piston rod relative to the cylinder to be determined so that it can function as a displacement sensor.
