The transducer comprises a fixed, or stator, part (2) and a mobile, or rotor, part (3) which can perform a relative motion about a given axis (X30). On the shaft (30) of the rotor part (3) there is fitted a magnetized element (36) consisting, for example, of an annular element diametrically magnetized at a single pair of poles. Mounted on the fixed part is a pair of Hall-effect sensors (41, 42) which are set angularly staggered by 90 degrees about the axis of rotation (X30). The Hall-effect sensors generate corresponding output signals of an analog type, i.e., signals having values that vary in a continuous range. The values of the output signals generated by the transducer uniquely identify the relative positions of the aforesaid fixed part (2) and mobile part (3) with respect to the axis of rotation. |
