Robust integrated position sensors based on inductive evaluation of the mover

Modern electric vehicles are often equipped with highly integrated, decentralized electric clutch actuators. These clutches generate a mechanical form fit for power transmission and are actuated directly by a linear drive. They can transmit high torques, but only when the fully engaged position has been reached. If the teeth of a claw clutch only partially overlap, they can be damaged. Feedback on whether the desired shift position has been fully reached is therefore a safety feature in automotive applications. This project deals with the evaluation and experimental analysis of inductive position sensors for monitoring the shift position. The aim is to develop an inductive position sensor that can be integrated into such clutch systems and is robust against external interference in electric vehicles.
