Abstract
A sensor arrangement, having at least one sensor (3) which is able to be so attached to the outer face of a carrying part (1) by means of an attachment means that the attachment means (2) fits around the carrying part (1) at least 180° of its peripheral extent. The sensor (3) is designed in the form of a non-separable, integral component of the attachment means (2).
Claims20
A sensor arrangement, comprising at least one sensor, which by means of an attachment means may be so attached to the outside of a carrying part that the attachment means encompasses the carrying part for at least 180° of its peripheral extent, wherein the sensor is a bendingly flexible printed circuit board, the flexible printed circuit board being a non-separable integral component of the attachment means.
A sensor arrangement for detecting a position of a drive part within a tubular housing of a linear drive, the sensor arrangement comprising:
- a flexible band adapted to be secured around a substantial portion of an outer surface of the tubular linear drive housing;
- and
- a sensor integrally molded within said flexible band, said sensor comprising a flexible printed circuit board adapted to conform to the outer surface of the tubular linear drive housing together with said flexible band.
