が急激に低下し、位置制御が困難である。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, the magnetic flux density of the magnetic sensitive surface 21 by the permanent magnet 3 having the configuration shown in FIG. 4 is as shown by the broken line in FIG. Changes exponentially with changes in the distance. For example, in the example of using a rare earth magnet with a pole face area of 40 mm 2 and a height of 20 mm, the magnetic flux density changes relatively linearly up to a displacement of 1 to 2 mm, and the magnetic flux can be detected. However, in a range where the displacement is larger than that, the magnetic flux density is lowered, and it is difficult to detect it due to the influence of noise from the control device or the like. Therefore,
When the distance between the magnetic sensitive surface 21 and the permanent magnet 3 is relatively large with respect to the dimension of the permanent magnet 3, the detection accuracy of the displacement of the permanent magnet 3 is drastically lowered, and the position control is difficult.

An object of the present invention is to provide a highly accurate position detector capable of detecting even a large displacement area by changing the material of the fixing plate for fixing the permanent magnet and the arrangement of the permanent magnet.

ウム、鉄、硼素系である磁石を使用している。FIG. 1 is a side view showing an embodiment of the present invention, in which a non-magnetic plate 11 is provided on the movable portion 1 perpendicularly to the displacement direction of the movable portion 1 of the actuator L indicated by the arrow. On the non-magnetic plate 11, two permanent magnets 3 and 3'having two flat magnetic pole surfaces are fixed at appropriate intervals so that the magnetic pole surfaces 31 and 31 'have different polarities. The magnetic detection element 2 having the flat plate-shaped magnetic sensitive surface 21 is non-magnetic on the fixed portion 4 of the actuator L when the magnetic sensitive surface 21 is at a position intermediate between the magnetic pole surfaces 31, 31 'of the permanent magnets 3, 3'. It is arranged via a non-magnetic base 22 so as to be perpendicular to the plate 11. That is, the magnetic sensitive surface 21 is arranged so as to be parallel to the moving direction of the movable portion 1. Permanent magnet 3,
No. 3'uses a magnet whose material is neodymium, iron or boron to increase the residual magnetic flux density.

From a distance to a long distance, the change is close to a straight line with almost the same gradient,
And the magnetic flux density is high. For example, when two magnets, which are half the size of the conventional example, are placed 5 mm apart from each other, the magnetic flux density changes linearly up to a displacement of 7 to 8 mm and is not affected by the noise of the control device. It is sized.

The non-magnetic plate 11 is arranged so that the magnetic pole surfaces 32, 32 'of the N pole and the S pole of the one permanent magnet 3 are parallel to the moving direction of the movable portion 1 and face the opposite direction.
The magnetic sensitive surface 21 on both magnetic pole surfaces 32 of the permanent magnet 3,
It may be arranged at an intermediate position of 32 'and on a plane perpendicular to the non-magnetic plate 11.
