A device for measuring the amount of movement of a moving object is provided with a sensor unit made up of the moving object and stationary members arranged to form two capacitors therebetween. The confronting surfaces of the moving object and stationary members are graduated with gear-like cuts so that while the capacitance of one capacitor is maximum, the capacitance of the other capacitor is minimum. The device further comprises a pair of oscillators coupled to the two capacitors, and a mixer connected to the oscillators so that the difference in capacitance between the capacitors is obtained as the difference in frequency, which is processed to provide the amount of movement of the moving object.
