Scanning element and inductive position measuring device having a scanning element

An inductive position measuring device, comprising:

• a first scale element;
• a second scale element;
• and
• a scanning element having a multi-layer circuit board including:
• a first detector unit including a first excitation track and a first receiver track, the first detector unit being arranged in a first layer and in a second layer of the circuit board;
• a second detector unit including a second excitation track and a second receiver track, the second detector unit being arranged in a third layer and a fourth layer of the circuit board;
• wherein the circuit board has a geometrical center plane located between the detector units;
• wherein the receiver tracks are arranged circumferentially about an axis in a circumferential direction;
• wherein the first receiver track includes first receiver conductor traces and the second receiver track includes second receiver conductor traces, the first receiver conductor traces and the second receiver conductor traces having a periodic characteristic;
• wherein the first receiver track has a first gap in the circumferential direction that is bounded by the first receiver conductor traces;
• wherein the second receiver track has a second gap in the circumferential direction that is bounded by the second receiver conductor traces;
• wherein the circuit board includes a plated through-hole within the first gap and within the second gap;
• and,
• wherein the scale elements are arranged in a third direction that has an orthogonal orientation with respect to the center plane, at a distance on both sides of the circuit board.
