Abstract
Disclosed is an assembly of a non-magnetic and metallic target for an inductive sensor and its support, the target being flexible under pressure and under the release of the pressure in a reciprocating movement toward and away from the support. The target includes a central portion surrounded by flexible fixing tabs, a first end of which is secured to the central portion and a second end of which is fixed to the support, the fixing tabs being evenly distributed around the central portion, a first portion of each fixing tab closest to the central portion being stiffer relative to a portion of the fixing tab farthest away from the central portion.
