Applications
Transmission fork position
Linear stroke
General Description
The Hall Effect Linear Position Sensor detects the position of each fork in a DCT transmission. Each position sensor
operates in a pair with one magnet actuator. There are four pairs in total to detect the fork position of gears 1~7 and reverse
position.
Operation
Basic Principle
The sensor is a linear PWM output sensor which detects the position of moving parts. After programming, the sensor will
output
a linear PWM signal to reflect the position of the magnet assembly actuator.
