Abstract
The sensor for detecting the position of a generator element which outputs a position-dependent physical variable, the sensor includes a transducer for converting the physical variable into an electric generator signal, a circuit on a wiring support for receiving the generator signal from the transducer and outputting a measurement signal that corresponds to the generator signal and a protective compound which at least partially surrounds the transducer and the wiring support, thus retaining the transducer on the wiring support.
Claims13
A sensor for detecting a position of an encoder element, which outputs a physical variable which is dependent on position, said sensor comprising a transducer for converting the physical variable into an electrical encoder signal, a circuit on a wiring carrier for receiving the encoder signal from the transducer and outputting a measurement signal corresponding to the encoder signal, and a protective compound, which at least partially envelops the transducer and the wiring carrier and thus holds the transducer on the wiring carrier.
A method for producing a sensor for detecting a position of an encoder element, which outputs a physical variable which is dependent on position, said sensor comprising a transducer for converting the physical variable into an electrical encoder signal, a circuit on a wiring carrier for receiving the encoder signal from the transducer and outputting a measurement signal corresponding to the encoder signal, and a protective compound, which at least partially envelops the transducer and the wiring carrier and thus holds the transducer on the wiring carrier as claimed in, the method comprising:
- making contact between the transducer and the circuit on the wiring carrier, and
- enveloping the transducer and the wiring carrier at least partially with the protective compound so that the protective compound holds the transducer on the wiring carrier.
A method for producing an electrical transformer, comprising:
- arranging electrical connections and a magnetic core for the transformer,
- forming a coil former around the magnetic core in such a way that the electrical connections are held by the coil former, and
- winding at least one coil wire onto the coil former.
