Scanning element for position measuring device

摘要

The scanning element (5) provides inductive position-dependent output signals by inductive scanning of at least one scale track having conductive and non-conductive regions in alternation. The scanning element has a carrier (10)supporting a number of energising elements for providing a homogenous electromagnetic field and one or more flat sensor windings (SWA1,SWA2,SWB1,SWB2), for providing at least 2 phase-offset periodic output signals for each scale track.
