Abstract
The invention relates to a sensor arrangement () for detecting a position and/or a displacement of a flux element assembly () along a longitudinal direction, with a coil assembly () and the flux element assembly (), wherein the coil assembly () comprises at least two flat coils (), wherein the flux element assembly () comprises at least two flux elements (), wherein the at least two flux elements () are arranged adjacent to one another in the longitudinal direction and offset in transverse direction, wherein the flux element assembly () and the coil assembly () are movable and/or displaceable relative to one another in the longitudinal direction, wherein the flat coils () are designed, such that an actual inductance (L, L) of each flat coil () is dependent on the actual displacement of the flux element assembly () relative to the coil assembly (), with an evaluation device, which is set up to determine the actual inductance (L, L) for each flat coil () and determine the actual displacement based on the determined actual inductances (L, L).
