Fill level sensor, measuring method for determining a contact pressure of a contact against a contact path of a potentiometer and device for carrying out the measuring method

摘要

A filling level sensor ( 1 ) for a fuel container having a bracket ( 4 ) which can pivot by means of a carrier ( 5 ) has an opening ( 9 ) in the carrier ( 5 ). A measuring tip ( 13 ) can be lead through the opening ( 9 ) toward a component which is connected to contacts ( 10 ) of a potentiometer ( 7 ) and a lifting-off force of the contact ( 10 ) can be determined. The lifting-off force is thus measured in a low-friction fashion and near to the contacts ( 10 ).
