Zusammenfassung:	The present subject matter relates to devices, systems, and methods for identifying the position of a movable component. A position sensor system is provided in which a Hall effect sensor is coupled to a fixed housing, and a plurality of magnets is coupled to a movable component that is movable to a sensing position at which the plurality of magnets is proximal to the Hall effect sensor. In this configuration, the plurality of magnets is arranged to produce an aggregate magnetic field having a flux concentration directed toward the Hall effect sensor when the plurality of magnets is in the sensing position.
