ABSTRACT:
For producing readings representative of the position of a fluid-powered actuator, a magnetic position-sensing system is used which is out of contact with the actuator's ram and is completely united with the actuator's cylinder. The sensing system has a periodic magnetic field pattern of the ram itself and a number of magnetic field detectors placed in an end plate of the actuator clear of the ram's outer face. The true position of the ram within one period of the magnetization pattern is measured by electrical interpolation based on output signals of the different magnetic field detectors.
