McDermott Will & Emery LLP
Position sensor
The position sensor includes a moving member configured to be displaced in response to displacement of a measurement target, a resonant unit, an oscillation unit, a signal processing unit, an output unit, a signal absence detection unit, and a low-pass filter. The resonant unit includes a detection coil. The oscillation unit is configured to output an oscillation signal. The signal absence detection unit is configured to judge whether or not the oscillation signal is output from the oscillation unit. The low-pass filter is configured to have a cut-off frequency which passes the oscillation signal corresponding to the resonant frequency of the resonant unit in a normal condition, but blocks the oscillation signal output from the oscillation unit when the resonant unit sees an oscillation at an abnormal frequency.
