LINEAR POSITION SENSOR

摘要

The invention relates to the field of position sensors, especially to the field of so-called inductive sensors. The device according to the invention comprises a track provided with a primary winding (513) fed by a high-frequency alternating current, and a plurality of secondary windings (511, 512). The device measures the position of the leading edge (510) of a target (500), in a so-called longitudinal direction (5000) between a first position and a second position between which the target (500) entirely covers the track (550). Surprisingly, said configuration enables the useful measuring length of such a track (550) to be very slightly increased.
