Abstract
An arrangement is provided for determining the position of an object of measurement without contacting the object. The arrangement includes a sensor element that reacts to magnetic forces, and along which the object can be displaced. The sensor element is provided with at least one release element, which has two magnets that are fixed relative to one anther, are spaced from one anther, and are disposed in a vicinity adjacent to the sensor element. One of the magnets, in order to produce a unilaterally enlarged virtual air gap, is rotated by a given angle relative to the other magnet.
