A sensor including a circuit carrier, a number of measuring inductors on the circuit carrier, and a reference inductor that is coupled to the measuring inductors.

Sensor

A sensor arrangement having: a housing, a movement sensor, the movement sensor, being mounted on a bearing element connected to the housing; a position sensor; and a position transducer, the position sensor and the position transducer being arranged relative to each other in such a way that the movement of the movement sensor can be measured. The bearing element protrudes from the housing, or the position sensor and the position transducer are eccentric relative to the bearing element.

Motion detection device consisting of a single encoder and a single stationary sensor element, the encoder, which is arranged on a movable part, representing an asymmetrical pattern. The angular velocity or velocity and the direction of motion of a moving part are determined from the sensor signal by measuring the edge steepness or the rise time or fall time, spectrally analyzing the frequency and the phase relation of a harmonic to the phase of the fundamental mode, or evaluating the asymmetries of a sequence of rectangular pulses.

A device for measuring angle and angular velocity or distance and speed of a moving part is described. The device has a sensor which is or can be arranged in a stationary manner and an encoder which is or can be arranged on the moving part and, together with the sensor, generates a modulation signal to be demodulated by the sensor.
