ABSTRACT:
A system for sensing the angular position of a code ring of magnetic matel which is rotatable about a cylindrical housing, also magnetic material, to any one of a predetermined number of code ring settings. Either or both the cylindrical housing and the code ring include permanent magnets to provide a magnetic circuit including both of these elements. The code ring has an inner surface which carries an N-bit digital code of magnetic material in N tracks. N Hall effect digital switches are disposed on the cylindrical housing adjacent the N tracks of digital code bits, respectively. Each Hall effect digital switch senses whether a code bit is adjacent to it. The Hall effect digital switches are read by associated electronics within the housing to provide a digital signal indicating the code ring setting.
