Magnetic encoder assembly

A first magnetic encoder assembly includes a magnetic encoder ring. The magnetic encoder ring has a circumferential surface and a magnetic field. The magnetic field has a direction which substantially continuously varies in angle as one travels along the circumferential surface. A second magnetic en...

Zusammenfassung:A first magnetic encoder assembly includes a magnetic encoder ring. The magnetic encoder ring has a circumferential surface and a magnetic field. The magnetic field has a direction which substantially continuously varies in angle as one travels along the circumferential surface. A second magnetic encoder assembly includes a substantially-linearly-extending magnetic encoder strip. The magnetic encoder strip has a magnetic working length and a magnetic field. The magnetic field has a direction which substantially continuously varies in angle as one travels along the magnetic working length.
