AN INDUCTIVE POSITION SENSOR FOR DETECTING A LINEAR OR ANGULAR MOVEMENT OF A CONDUCTIVE TARGET

The invention relates to an inductive position sensor (1) for detecting a linear or angular movement of a conductive target, comprising:a transmitter coil (2);a first receiver coil (3) and a second receiver coil (4), whereinthe first receiver coil (3) and the second receiver coil (4) have a linear or angular shape and define the detection range of the inductive linear or arc position sensor (1);a first conductive target (7) and a second conductive target (8) ;the first conductive target (7) and the second conductive target (8) each have a linear or angular shape extension of half the detection range of the inductive position sensor (1) and are spaced from each other by half the detection range of the inductive position sensor (1).
