Scanning element and inductive position measuring device having a scanning element

An inductive position measuring device, comprising:

• a scanning element, including:
• a circuit board including a first detector unit having a first receiver conductor trace arranged circumferentially about an axis in a circumferential direction, a course of the first receiver conductor trace:
• being periodic along a first line;
• having a first gap along an extension of the first receiver conductor trace in the circumferential direction;
• having a first amplitude in a first quadrant and/or in a second quadrant of a Cartesian coordinate system;
• and
• having a second amplitude in a third quadrant and/or in a fourth quadrant of the Cartesian coordinate system;
• and
• a first scale element arranged at an offset in parallel with the axis at a distance from the circuit board;
• wherein an origin of the coordinate system coincides with the axis and an ordinate of the coordinate system extends centrically through the first gap in relation to the circumferential direction;
• and
• wherein the second amplitude is smaller than the first amplitude.
