A device and a method determines the position of an object which can be moved in a linear manner. The device includes a contact unit coupled to the object such that the contact unit provides a force signal that is dependent on the position of the object; a force detecting unit for detecting the force signal provided by the contact unit; and an evaluating unit for evaluating the force signal detected by the force detecting unit. The position of the object is ascertained using an evaluation function during the evaluation process, the evaluation function describing a dependence of the force signal on the position of the object. |
