Zusammenfassung:Cable-locked position sensors are described that employ a flexible cable to couple rotation of a rotatable element, such as an output shaft of a gear motor, to a rotary position sensor. The disclosed sensors can be used to determine rotation and/or position of the rotatable element. The disclosed sensors are relatively small and inexpensive. The disclosed sensors may also be used as part of a servo motor, or in conjunction with gear motors to provide positional information for operation of the gear motor to thereby provide capabilities of a servo motor using an inexpensive gear motor.
