POSITION SENSOR FOR VEHICLE MECHANISM

摘要

Position sensor (30) for detecting the shifting of positions of a component (20) capable of moving to and fro in an actuator (10) for a vehicle mechanism (80). The position sensor has a stationary sensor body (32) and a movable sensor body (52) which is connectable to the component (20) and is adapted to moving with the component (20) between positions close to and away from the stationary sensor body (32). The stationary sensor body (32) is further adapted to being relocatable against friction force to new stationary positions in a guide bushing (14) in response to wear of the vehicle mechanism (80). In order to make it unnecessary to subject the movable sensor body (52) to mechanical load and in order thereby to enable it to cooperate in a contact-free manner with the stationary sensor body, it is inter alia proposed according to the invention that the stationary sensor body (32) be adapted to being shifted by a free end (24) of the component (20) to new stationary positions and that the movable sensor body (52) be adapted to moving at a distance from the stationary sensor body.
