SEAT TRACK ASSEMBLY FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE HAVING AN INTEGRATED POSITION SENSOR

摘要

A seat track assembly (22) for a seat of a motor vehicle having a floor and an airbag. The seat track assembly (22) includes a stationary rail (28) fixedly secured to the floor. The seat track assembly (22) also includes a movable rail (30) fixedly secured to the seat and slidably engaged with the stationary rail (28) to move the seat therealong. The movable rail extends along a length between a forward position and a rearward position. A shunt (50) defining an elongated body (52) extends along a portion of the length of the movable rail (30). A sensor (64) is fixedly secured to the stationary rail (30) and disposed adjacent the shunt (50) to produce a position signal indicating a position of the sensor relative (64) to the shunt (50). The sensor (64) and the shunt (50) are disposed within the stationary (28) and movable (30) rails to be protected thereby.
