Abstract
A position detection device for detecting a position of a shaft moving forward and backward in an axial direction is provided with a detection object attached to the shaft, an excitation coil for generating an alternating magnetic field, a power supply for supplying an alternating current to the excitation coil, and a detection coil arranged to be extending along an axial direction of the shaft and being interlinked with a magnetic flux of the alternating magnetic field. The excitation coil is arranged to surround the detection coil, and the detection coil includes a distorted curved portion being distorted with respect to a sine wave curve in such a manner that a peak value of a voltage induced in the detection coil changes into a sine wave shape when the shaft moves along the axial direction at a constant speed.
