Abstract
Contactless measurement sensor for measuring at least one of a distance to an object to be sensed, a motion with respect to an object to be sensed, a speed with respect to an object to be sensed, a torque applied to an object to be sensed and a force applied to an object to be sensed the contactless measurement sensor comprises a first magnetic field generating unit being adapted for generating a magnetic field towards the object to be sensed, a first magnetic field detector unit being adapted for detecting a first magnetic field which field being generated by the first field generator unit and being influenced by a respective distance, motion, speed, applied torque and applied force to be measured, wherein the first magnetic field detector unit is further adapted for outputting a first signal being representative for the detected magnetic field, and an evaluating unit being adapted for evaluating a signal strength of the first signal and determining the respective distance, motion, speed, applied torque and applied force based on the first signal.
