Abstract
A linear actuator for a steer-by-wire system including a component, in particular an axle or a shaft, that can be moved along a linear trajectory, and including a measuring device for determining a position of the component. The measuring device has a coil for inductively determining the position of the component, and the coil is arranged coaxially relative to the linear trajectory of the component.
Claims19
A linear actuator for a steer-by-wire system, the linear actuator comprising:
- a component that is movable along a linear trajectory;
- a measuring device configured for determining a position of the component;
- wherein the measuring device has a coil for inductively determining the position of the component, and the coil is arranged coaxially relative to the linear trajectory of the component.
A method for determining a position of a component of a linear actuator for a steer-by-wire system, the method comprising:
- moving the component along a linear trajectory, and
- determining the position of the component by a measuring device which comprises a coil for inductively determining the position of the component that is arranged coaxially relative to the linear trajectory of the component.
A linear actuator, comprising:
- a component that is movable along a linear trajectory;
- a measuring device configured for determining a position of the component;
