Abstract
An inductive position sensor utilized with a rotating or linearly displacing electrically conductive component. In a first embodiment, a sensor housing is mounted to an exterior of a structure supporting the component and exhibits a radially inwardly extending printed circuit board (PCB) with sensor coils arrayed in spatial and non-contacting position relative to a cross sectional cam end surface profile of the rotating component, such that rotation of the cam surface profile causes a linear displacement of the conducting coupler along the coils to determine a positional change of the rotating component. A further embodiment reconfigures the PCB in a linear direction within the sensor housing relative to the proximately located and linearly displaceable component and in which the sensor determines a lateral shifting of the component apart from its rotation.
