There is described a position sensor for outputting a signal indicative of the relative position between a first member and a second member, the position sensor having at least one conductive winding fixed relative to the first member and a magnetic field generator fixed relative to the second member. An extent of magnetisable material is positioned relative to the at least one conductive winding and the magnetic field generator such that when a magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator saturates a localised region of the extent of magnetisable material, a component is introduced to a signal in the at least one conductive winding that varies in accordance with the position of the localised saturated region. The extent of magnetisable material has a property that is non-uniform in such a manner that the effective reluctance of the extent of magnetisable material is increased in at least one direction. In this way, less flux from external magnetic fields is concentrated in the film of magnetisable material.

SENSOR FOR THE SHIFTED POSITION OF A SHIFTER SHAFT AND CORRESPONDING DETECTION METHOD
A sensor device and a method for detecting the shifted position of a shifter shaft (12) are described. The shifter shaft (12) performs shifting, for example in a transmission having a plurality of gear speeds, by moving between various shifted positions between the various gear speeds of the transmission. The shifter shaft (12) here carries out a translatory movement and/or a rotational movement between the shifted positions. A connecting link (22) is mounted on the shifter shaft (12) and has marking positions (26) at which magnetisable material which is shaped in different ways is provided. A sensor unit (20) having a magnetic field sensor element (38) is arranged in such a way that it is positioned at the shifted positions before the marking positions (26). The magnetic field of a magnet element (42) is concentrated by the magnetisable material, with the different shape of the material at the marking positions (26) giving rise to different field distributions, with the result that the shifted positions can be differentiated by means of the output signal of the magnetic field sensor element (38).
