Positionsbestämning av en roterande axel i en vinkelgivare

Sammanfattning: This thesis includes a study of a touch-free sensor systems and different principles for measuring a magnetic field. An in-depth study was conducted to describe two important principles in these contexts, i.e. Magnetoresistance principle and the Hall Effect principle. A market evaluation of different sensor chips developed on these principles was conducted. Furthermore, the study should be linked to existing principles to determine the position of a rotating axis. Function tests show that the performance requirement for each component was met. The results based on verification tests show that it is important to have a better mechanical connection between drive and device. Temperature tests show that the system meets the project specification at room temperature, but large angular deviations occur in temperature change, especially when driving with short steps. This thesis can be continued by reprogramming the source code and developing new software that can control more parameters and make it more accurate at positioning. Another recommendation would be to investigate and compare other sensor chips because there are several sensors that can apply to the system. Further improvements can be made by performing more tests on the system.
