Modeling of High-Frequency Electromagnetic Effects on an Ironless Inductive Position Sensor

Yves Perriard, Alessandro Danisi, Alessandro Masi

The ironless inductive position sensor (I2PS) is a five-coil air-cored structure that senses the variation of flux linkage between supply and sense coils and relates it to the linear position of a moving coil. In air-cored structures, the skin and proximit ...

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 ...
