Path and or position measurement assembly, e.g. for a washing machine, comprises a linear magnet and a field sensor, with the magnet having at least two regions within which the field strength varies in a different manner

摘要

Path and or position measurement assembly comprises a magnet (2) and a magnetic field sensor (3) that measures a varying field strength. Typically the magnet is connected to a moving component (4). The magnet has at least two regions with the magnetic field strength varying in a different manner over the two regions.
