Inductive position measuring device and method for operating an inductive position measuring device

An inductive position measuring device, comprising:

• a first assembly including a first interaction surface and multiple first field interaction devices arranged parallel to the first interaction surface, at least one of the first field interaction devices is arranged along a first measurement direction and at least one of the first field interaction device is arranged along a second measurement direction, each first field interaction device including at least one excitation device configured to generate an electromagnetic field and at least one receiver configured to receive an electromagnetic field;
• and
• a second assembly including a second interaction surface and multiple second field interaction devices arranged in a flat manner distributed over the second interaction surface, the second assembly being arranged opposite the first assembly in a third measurement direction, the first assembly and the second assembly being movable relative to each other;
• wherein the first and second field interaction devices are configured to be brought into electromagnetic interaction with each other.
