Abstract:
A measurement system for determining acceleration and a position of an object, comprising:a first sensor system for determining an acceleration of an object, said first sensor system comprising: a body with an electrically conducting measuring structure; a device for generating a first magnetic field, which acts on said measuring structure; and a detector for detecting a second magnetic field or field changes, which are created by eddy currents generated by said measuring structure, said detector generating an output signal; a second sensor system for determining a position of said object, said second sensor system comprises a scale graduation that lies opposite said detector and is scanned by said detector in a scanning area in which said measuring structure and said scale graduation are arranged placed on top of each other, or integrated into each other, and wherein said detector generates an acceleration signal and a position signal from a common scanning area; and said measuring structure and said scale graduation are formed on a common body.
