ABSTRACT:
A compact arrangement which enables rotation of a component of an apparatus to be sensed is provided. A component having a body with a plurality of discrete magnetised regions on its circumferentially outer surface, each region being formed in a layer and circumferentially spaced apart from each other by non-magnetised regions of the layer, the magnetised regions being circumferentially distributed at substantially the same axial position to enable rotation of the component relative to a sensor to be monitored, wherein the magnetised regions comprise a first group of equally spaced magnetised regions, each of which is magnetised in the same direction, and an additional magnetised region midway between two of the first group of regions, which has a different magnitude of magnetization to the regions of the first group to facilitate monitoring of the rotational position of the body.
