Design optimization of an ironless inductive position sensor for the LHC collimators

Yves Perriard, Alessandro Danisi, Alessandro Masi

The Ironless Inductive Position Sensor (I2PS) is an air-cored displacement sensor which has been conceived to be totally immune to external DC/slowly-varying magnetic fields. It can thus be used as a valid alternative to Linear Variable Differential Transf ...
