ABSTRACT:
A potentiometer-type steering sensor includes a sensor main body fixed on the steering shaft, comprising a resistor coated concentrically around a center of the body and spirally formed in three-turns, a conducting wire coated parallel to the resistor at a predetermined space on the upper surface of the sensor main body, and at leat two terminals respectively connected to each end of the resistor and the conducting wire; a conductive sliding member which is slidable while contacting the resistor and the conducting wire; a first guide plate, which is fixed on the steering shaft and is provided with a guide slot on which the conductive sliding member is mounted to be slidable in a radial direction; and a second guide plate, which is fixed on the sensor main body and is provided with a guide groove which has the same pattern as that of the resistor to guide the movement of the conductive sliding member.
