This paper proposes an absolute position sensing methodology for aircraft electromechanical actuators using 3D Hall effect sensors as a replacement for traditional, complex LVDT systems. While traditional sensing technologies often face limitations regarding mechanical wear, electromagnetic interference, and system complexity, the proposed approach leverages multi-axial magnetic field mapping to determine position as a proportional angular vector. Experimental validation across wide temperature range demonstrates reliable performance under extreme environmental conditions, establishing this non-contact method as a durable and viable alternative for short-stroke actuator applications
