Abstract
A position transducer, a linear actuator and a method for determining a position of two components in relation to each other. The position transducer having measuring unit and a first, second, and third electrode assembly. The third electrode assembly capacitively couples the first and the second electrode assemblies to each other and is movable in relation thereto. The measuring unit is electrically conductively connected to the first electrode assembly by a first line assembly and to the second electrode assembly by a second line assembly. The measuring unit is configured to emit at least one excitation signal via the first line assembly and receive at least one readout signal via the second line assembly. The measuring unit is also designed to determine, based on readout signal, a position of the third electrode assembly in relation to the first and the second electrode assemblies.
