Abstract
The invention relates to an inductive sensor device (1) having at least one electric coil (4, 16), a coil core (6) being provided which dips into the coil (4, 16) and can be adjusted corresponding to a path or angle to be measured. The invention provides that the coil core (6) has a section (10) that tapers, starting from a section (12) of a constant cross-section adjoining on one side, viewed in the longitudinal direction of the coil core, step-by-step or continuously, to a section (14) of a constant cross-section adjoining on the other side. When the measuring path is defined, shorter coils can therefore be used, whereby space is saved.
