Abstract
A adjustable Hall effect sensor system having a sensor positioning component is described. In one embodiment, the Hall effect sensor system is an independently adjustable sensor system, having a plurality of Hall effect sensor, wherein one Hall effect sensor may be displaced and adjusted without effecting the location of another Hall effect sensor. A sensor positioning component comprising a paddle coupled to a main body portion by a more narrow neck is described. A cam may be configured on a paddle and provide for fine tuning the position of a Hall effect sensor. In one embodiment the main body and extensions are comprised essentially of a circuit board.
Claims20
An adjustable Hall effect sensor system, comprising:
- a sensor positioning component comprising:
- a main body portion;
- a first adjustable component coupled to the main body portion;
- a first Hall effect sensor coupled to the first adjustable component;
- a second adjustable component coupled to the main body portion;
- and
- a second Hall effect sensor coupled to the second adjustable component, wherein the Hall effect sensor system is configured as an independent positioning sensor system, whereby adjustment of the second Hall effect sensor does not affect the position of said first Hall effect sensor.
An adjustable Hall effect sensor system, comprising:
- a sensor positioning component comprising:
- a main body portion;
- a first extended portion coupled to the main body portion,
- a first Hall effect sensor coupled to the first extended portion;
- a first cam coupled to the first extended portion;
- a second extended portion coupled to the main body portion;
- a second Hall effect sensor coupled to the second extended portion;
- and
- a second cam coupled to the second extended portion,
- wherein the Hall effect sensor system is configured as an independent positioning sensor system, wherein rotation of the first cam adjusts a position of the first Hall effect sensor and wherein rotation of the second cam adjusts a position of the second Hall effect sensor.
An adjustable Hall effect sensor system, comprising:
- a sensor positioning component comprising:
- a first adjustable component coupled to a stator;
- a first Hall effect sensor coupled to the first adjustable component;
- a second adjustable component coupled to the stator;
- and
- a second Hall effect sensor coupled to the second adjustable component,
- wherein the Hall effect sensor system is configured as an independent positioning sensor system, whereby adjustment of the second Hall effect sensor does not affect the position of said first Hall effect sensor.
