Abstract
A position sensor to determine the absolute position of an object features a rotary position sensor with a tooth gear, which is resiliently and elastically tensioned against a toothing on the moving object.
Claims8
Position sensor to determine the position of a moving object, wherein a rotary position sensor is coupled by means of a toothed gear to a toothing on the moving object, the toothed gear and the toothing of the moving object being under mutual elastic tension, wherein the moving object is a rotary shaft and the toothing is a driven toothed gear connected to the shaft, and two rotary position sensors are coupled via driven toothed gears to the driving toothed gear, wherein the rotary position sensors are seated in bearing elements and the bearing elements are pressed by means of resilient, elastic tension bars in the direction of the shaft.
