Abstract
Disclosed is a linear inductive sensor having, on the one hand, a fixed part of transformer type with a primary circuit and at least two secondary circuits, the primary circuit being flowed through by a high-frequency alternating current capable of inducing an electrical voltage in each of the at least two secondary circuits and, on the other hand, a moving part with a target intended to be fixed on a mechanical component executing a movement in rotation about an axis, which the inductive sensor measures angularly. The target is a metal spiral carried by a circular face of a ring having a central recess, the ring being intended to be fixed on the component while being concentric therewith, the spiral projecting axially from the ring while making at least one revolution around and moving away from the recess.
