Abstract

The object of the invention relates to an encoder for a position sensor, including at least one junction (J) between one so-called small pole (P) and one so-called large pole (G), having an angular width larger than the angular width of the small pole, the small pole (P) and the large pole (G) corresponding to each junction (J) having polarities of opposite signs, characterized in that, for each junction (J), the large pole (G) of a given sign consists: of at least one small stabilizing pole (ps) of the same sign placed adjacent to the small pole (P) of opposite sign and having an angular width substantially identical with that of said first pole, one the one hand and of at least one complementary pole (pc) of the same sign as the stabilizing pole (ps), the complementary pole (pc) and/or the small stabilizing pole (ps) having a gradual magnetization profile adapted for stabilizing the passing through zero gauss of the radial component of the magnetic induction, on the other hand.
