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

An inductive position sensor for detecting a linear or angular movement of a conductive target, including: a transmitter coil; a first receiver coil and a second receiver coil, wherein the first receiver coil and the second receiver coil have a linear or angular shape and define the detection range of the inductive linear or arc position sensor; a first conductive target and a second conductive target; the first conductive target and the second conductive target each have a linear or angular shape extension of half the detection range of the inductive position sensor and are spaced from each other by half the detection range of the inductive position sensor.
