Abstract
The invention relates to an inductive angle sensor that includes a measuring element able to be positioned, within an angle measurement range, in different angle-positions about a rotational axis, as well as a coil that is at a distance from said measuring element. The surface of the measuring element is at a different distance from the coil in each angle-position, within said angle measurement range.
Claims10
An inductive angle sensor comprising a measuring body, which can be positioned about an axis of rotation inside an angle measuring range in different angular positions, and a coil that is at an axial distance from the measuring body along the axis of rotation, wherein the surface of the measuring body is at a different axial distance from the coil in each angular position within the angle measuring range,
- wherein the coil is electrically connected in parallel with a capacitor to form an oscillator.
