Inductive adjustment of the core-fitted coil () of an eddy-current distance sensor () can be avoided if the coil () fills a physically predetermined annular space between the winding support () of the plastic coil former () and its flanges (-) as well as the wall () of a pot () composed of ferromagnetic material, which is placed over the rearward, smaller flange () and whose end face () rests against an annular area of the front, larger flange () with the same diameter as the pot (). The ferromagnetic coil core () which engages coaxially in the winding support () can therefore be arranged on the base () in the pot () and can therefore be mounted as part of the pot ().
