Abstract

A pulse generator composed of a stator, a part which is movable with respect to the stator, a coil of wire, at least one Wiegand wire, and at least one magnet which causes the Wiegand wire to generate pulses in the coil based on the Wiegand effect, upon movement of the movable part. The magnetic field produced by the magnet is of such an asymmetrical form with respect to the Wiegand wire that the pulses show a positive or negative polarity depending on the sense of movement of the movable part.
