<p>A position sensor having a shaped dual magnet structure (212, 214) carried upon a pole piece (210) having a generally "C"-shaped cross-section, wherein the magnet and pole piece define a generally circular linear field which is concentric about the axis of rotation of the complete rotor (220). A Hall effect device (510) is located in the open portion or gap between the two magnets and is exposed to a well defined field, so that, by the use of selected geometries and particular magnet materials, a precise, compact and yet tolerant magnetic circuit is produced. <IMAGE></p> |
