ABSTRACT:
A combined magnetic sensor and actuator device for applying a magnetic force to a magnetizable body and for sensing the distance between the device and the magnetizable body. The device includes a magnetizable pole piece separated from the magnetizable body by gaps. The pole piece, gaps, and magnetizable body form a magnetic circuit with the gaps preferably being the major reluctance of the circuit. Separate means are provided for generating a relatively large time-varying magnetic actuating flux in the magnetic circuit and for generating a relatively small time-varying magnetic sensing flux in the magnetic circuit. Each magnetic flux follows a flux path, such that the two flux paths have at least a portion in common. Detection means measure the relatively small magnetic flux in the magnetic circuit, and thereby measure the distance between the device and the magnetizable body.
