Abstract

A sensor system and method of operating the sensor system can include an indicator that is operable in resonance, the indicator being connected to a movable element of an actuator, and a sensor including sensor windings arranged in direct proximity to the indicator and external to a closed housing. The sensor can receive a position or an angle of the indicator, and can measure the position or the angle of the movable element inside the actuator through the closed housing based on inductive resonance facilitated by the indicator.
