Abstract
A device () for sensing the axial position, in relation to the other component, of one of two components mobile relative to each other, in particular a piston () in relation to a cylinder housing (), which device has a magnetic signal element () arranged on the one component and a magnetic-flux-sensitive sensor () arranged on the other component, of which the axial relative position of the signal element to the sensor can be detected. One flux guide element () is allocated to the sensor stationary in relation to the sensor, which extends on the other component at least over the area to be detected of the axial relative positions of the signal element to the sensor and comprises a plate section of a magnetizable material, wherein the sensor is arranged at one longitudinal end of the flux guide element outside the area to be detected of axial relative positions.
