Abstract: An inductive position-measuring device includes a scanning element and a graduation element movable relative thereto along a direction. The scanning element has an excitation conductor, and first and second receiver tracks each having a receiver conductor, which extends along the direction according to first and second periodic patterns, respectively, over a length. A graduation track has graduation structures formed of ridges and gaps. The ridges have different widths, or the gaps have different depths or different widths, in the direction. The receiver conductors of the first and second receiver tracks are configured to generate first and second signals having first and second period lengths, respectively, wherein n times the first period length equals m times the second period length, with m and n being relatively prime, and n times the first period length and m times the second period length both being less than or equal to the length.

Abstract: A scanning element includes a circuit board having a first detector unit provided with a first receiver conductor trace arranged circumferentially about an axis in the circumferential direction. The course of the first receiver conductor trace has: a periodic configuration along a first line; a first gap along its extension in the circumferential direction; a first amplitude in the first quadrant or in the second quadrant of a Cartesian coordinate system; and a second amplitude in the third quadrant or in the fourth quadrant of the coordinate system. The origin of the coordinate system is located on the axis, and the ordinate extends centrically through the first gap in relation to the circumferential direction. The second amplitude is smaller than the first amplitude.

Abstract: A scanning element includes a circuit board and electronic components. The circuit board includes first and second shielding layers, a first detector unit is arranged in first and second layers, and a second detector unit is arranged in third and fourth layers. A first straight line passes through the first detector unit and the first shielding layer but not through the second shielding layer. Starting from the first detector unit, the first shielding layer is located beyond the center plane. A second straight line passes through the second detector unit and the second shielding layer but not through the first shielding layer. Starting from the second detector unit, the second shielding layer is located beyond the center plane. The first and second straight lines are orthogonal to the center plane.

Moreover, the circuit board includes a second detector unit having a second receiver track. The circuit board has a geometrical center plane located between the detector units. The receiver tracks include first and second receiver conductor traces, each having a periodic characteristic, and the first receiver track has a first gap along its extension, which is restricted by the first receiver conductor traces. The second receiver track has a second gap, which is restricted by the second receiver conductor traces. The circuit board has a plated through-hole arranged both within the first gap and within the second gap.

Abstract: A scanning element includes a multilayer circuit board having a first detector unit arranged in a first layer and in a second layer. In addition, the circuit board has a second detector unit, which is arranged in a third layer and in a fourth layer, and a first shielding layer, which is arranged in a fifth layer. The circuit board moreover has a geometrical center plane, which is located between the detector units, and furthermore has vias, which are arranged at an offset from one another in a direction parallel to the center plane. The fifth layer is structured such that that a web that is electrically insulated with respect to this first shielding layer is arranged next to the first shielding layer, the web being electrically contacted with the vias and electrically connecting the vias to one another.

Abstract: A measuring device includes first and second component groups rotatable about an axis relative to each other. The first component group has a scanning component, having a first substrate, and the second component group has a scale component, having a second substrate and an angle scale. The measuring device can determine a relative angular position between the component groups. The measuring device has a passive sensor array having conductor track structures. The conductor track structures are applied on the first substrate by an additive process so that the sensor array determines a torsional load of the first substrate about the axis. Alternatively, the conductor track structures are applied on the second substrate by an additive process so that the sensor array determines a torsional load of the second substrate about the axis.
