A sensing head () for a transducer for capturing rotation or linear parameters, of a rotatable or linearly movable component, in particular of a shaft (), includes a housing (), a first sensor unit () and a second sensor unit () arranged on the housing () and arranged in a circumferential direction (U) of the rotatable component offset in relation to each other. The first sensor unit has a first sensor surface () and the second sensor unit has a second sensor surface (). Each of the sensor units () can be rotated about a rotation axis () such that the sensor surfaces () are pivotable to each other in at least two different angular positions. The rotation axes () of the sensor units () are located on the sides () of the sensor units (); forming the sensor surfaces ().

Scanning head

An incremental transducer () as well as a process (D) are provided for determining an actual position of a body () along a measuring path (W) and/or a change therein. A position code () of the incremental transducer () has a gap (). To make it possible to use the incremental transducer () as flexibly as possible and to operate it despite dimensional tolerances of the body (), provisions are made for converting an actual location frequency (Fi) of the position code () into a desired location frequency (Fs) that is independent from the length (L) of the gap () to generate a position signal (S) representative of the actual position or the change therein.

Process and incremental transducer for determining an actual position of a body along a measuring path of a material measure having at least one gap

An absolute value transducer () for determining an absolute position (P) of a body (), with a measured material element (), as well as a process for determining the absolute position (P) of two bodies () in relation to one another. In order to be able to use the absolute value transducer () in as flexible a manner as possible and to detect mounting errors of the measured material element (), provisions are made according to the present invention for a code (K) of the measured material element () to have a discontinuity () in its course and for the code (K) to be scanned outside the discontinuity for determining the absolute position (P) within the discontinuity (), and for the scanned absolute values (W) to be combined with an offset value (A).
