Abstract
A sensor for detecting a position of an encoder magnet in a direction of motion, including: a first coil extending in the direction of motion, a second and third coil, which are aligned with the first coil and which are arranged symmetrical to each other with respect to a point of symmetry as observed in the direction of motion and which accordingly form a first and second transformer with the first coil, the transformation ratio of which transformers depends on the position of the encoder magnet, and a magnetic asymmetry, which changes the transformation ratio of one of the transformers with respect to the other transformer.
