Abstract
An induction sensor assembly for a securing and locking unit of a telescoping jib having at least one signal transmitter configured for generating an electromagnetic stray field oriented towards its active switching surface, and at least one switching element provided for contactless cooperation with the signal transmitter. The signal transmitter and switching element are displaceable relative to each other in relation to an adjusting direction extending in parallel with a main plane. To provide a simple and cost-effective installation of the induction sensor assembly despite having high detection security, the active switching surface of the signal transmitter and the main plane are inclined with respect to each other. As such, the electromagnetic stray field of the signal transmitter is also advantageously inclined whereby a possible displacement between the signal transmitter and switching element cannot exert an influence on the precision of the position detection in relation to the adjusting direction.
