Abstract: An inductive sensor for determining a position of a body moveable on a fixed housing includes an inductive transmission element in the body, the transmission element being operative for generating an alternating magnetic field flux. The body is movably arranged such that the flux passes over a flux path area of the housing. At least one conductor loop is arranged on the housing along a measuring length on the housing which measuring length can extend in a linear course or a circular course. At least one conductor loop is arranged on the housing extending along the measuring length, the conductor loop including a feed line and a return line. The return line has a path which at regular intervals of said measurement length alternates into and out of said flux path area. A permeation of the return line at a given measurement path location by the flux of the flux region induces a loop output voltage indicative of a body measurement length position on the housing or of a body angular position on the body.

Abstract: An inductive measuring transducer having bodies movable relative to one another, one of the bodies being a sensor component including an inductive sensor that produces an alternating magnetic field. Another of the bodies is a pickup component including an inductive pickup into which the alternating magnetic field is injected. The pickup component includes a conductor loop in which the inductive sensor induces a voltage. A voltage curve independent of position of the sensor component relative to the pickup component develops over the conductor loop. Resistors have first ends connected along the coductor loop and second ends connected together in groups at connection points. Voltage can be picked off from the connection points that correspond to functions of the position of the sensor component relative to the pickup component and permit the position to be clearly determined, the position and value of the resistors defining the functions of the position.

Abstract: An inductive measuring transducer having bodies that are movable one relative to the other, one of such bodies (sensor component 2) comprising at least one inductive sensor (6) that produces an alternating magnetic field, and the other body (pickup component 1) comprising one or more inductive pickups into which the alternating magnetic field of the inductive sensor(s) (6) is/are injected, there being provided an electronic circuit (3) for supplying the inductive sensor (6) with an alternating current and a circuit for evaluating the output voltages of the measuring transducer, is characterized in that the pickup component (1) comprises a closed conductor loop (10) in which the one or more inductive sensors (6) of the sensor component (2) induce(s) a voltage so that a voltage curve independent of the position of the sensor component (2) relative to the pickup component (1) develops over the conductor loop (10), and that resistors (11) are connected along the conductor loop (10), which have their other ends co

Abstract: The invention relates to an inductive measured value sensor for determining the position of a body which can be displaced with regard to a stationary housing. The inventive sensor is characterized in that the displaceable body has an inductive transmission element which generates a magnetic alternating field extending over a limited area. In addition, this alternating field entirely or partially permeates at least one conductor loop which extends over the measuring length and which is connected to the housing.

Abstract: For determining the respective geometrical position, the displacement or angle of a body by capacitive sensing, a supply voltage applied to a voltage-distribution element is switched, and/or phase-shifted voltages are applied, in such a way that at least two different distribution patterns of the supply voltage, that follow each other in time, are obtained across the voltage divider.
