Abstract
A capacitive measuring system for measuring the distance between two relatively movable parts based on measurement of capacitative charge comprising a measuring sensor which forms one plate of the capacitor whose gap is to be measured. With the position of the sensor face in the fixed part of casing being known, the plate distance of the gap capacitor provides a direct measure of the gap.
