Abstract
An inductive displacement sensor having a magnetically permeable measuring head arranged displaceably and/or rotatably on an elongated support, having at least one measuring loop with a geometric shape changing in response to longitudinal/rotational displacement of the measuring head along the support, and having at least one exciter loop by means of which a magnetic flux can be generated in the measuring head. At least two measuring loops being provided, the first measuring loop formed geometrically in such a way that a response, changing as linearly as possible, to a magnetic excitation of the measuring head emerges with a longitudinal/rotational displacement of the measuring head along the support and the least second measuring loop formed geometrically in such a way that a periodically changing response to a magnetic excitation of the measuring head emerges with a longitudinal/rotational displacement of the measuring head.
