Abstract
A length measuring system includes a magnetic component having two helical magnetically conductive or magnetic elements which have first and second axial ends. The elements are arranged in an axially symmetrically manner relative each other along a common longitudinal axis such that a magnetic field can be formed between the elements, the angle of the field relative to the common longitudinal axis continuously rotating along a predetermined length. The length measuring system further includes a magnetic sensor which can be arranged between the two elements at a right angle to the common longitudinal axis of the elements and which is connected to an evaluation unit.
