A relative movement takes place between the rod-shaped body (4) and the magnet (3), wherein the rod-shaped body (4) can be connected to the magnet (3). The magnetic field from the magnet (3) is at least partially directed in the direction of the magnetic field sensor (2). In this case, the rod-shaped body (4) is arranged parallel to the direction of movement (x). The magnetic field sensor (2) is arranged on a longitudinal side of the rod-shaped body (4) and is configured to generate a measurement signal from a portion of the magnetic field (6) which emerges from the rod-shaped body (4) at the magnetic field sensor (2). As a result, the position and/or change in the position of the measurement object can be determined from the measurement signal.

The displacement measurement sensor has a sensor coil (2) which is completed by means of a capacitor (Cpar) to form an oscillating circuit. The circuit arrangement also has an oscillator (3) for producing an excitation signal (UErreger) which stimulates the oscillating circuit to oscillate.

The sensor coil (2) is connected to a controllable resistor (Rvar). The circuit arrangement (1) also has a comparator (4) which compares the DC voltage (Utemp) with a reference voltage (Utref). On the basis of the result of the comparison, the comparator (4) outputs a control voltage (Ur) which controls the controllable resistor (Rvar). In a further development of the circuit arrangement, the control of the controllable resistor (Rvar) is designed in such a way that, when the temperature of the sensor coil (2) changes, whereby the ohmic resistance (RSensor) of the sensor coil (2) also changes, the total resistance of the sensor coil (RSensor) and the controllable resistor (Rvar) is kept substantially constant.

First, at least two independent measurement values are recorded by the at least one displacement sensor (1, 2) in at least two predefinable sites on a first surface of the reference object (3) at predefinable times tj, or as a function of predefinable positions pj of the reference object (3) in the measurement field, where j = 1, 2... Then the tilting or spatial position of the reference object in the measurement field is determined based on the measurement values recorded at the times tj, or as a function of the positions pj of the reference object (3). Then, a further measurement value is recorded by the at least one displacement sensor (1, 2) at a further site located in the measuring direction (Z) on a second surface disposed opposite the first surface, or on a surface region of the reference object (3) disposed opposite the first surface, in order to determine a thickness value of the reference object (3) in the measuring direction (Z). Then, the thickness value of the reference object (3) is calculated from the measurement values of the at least one displacement sensor (1, 2) at the times tj or in the positions pj in the measuring direction (Z). Finally, the difference between the calculated thickness value and the known thickness of the reference object (3) is calculated in order to obtain position and tilt or location-dependent corrective values in the partial region or measurement field, in order to compensate for geometric errors and/or non-linearities of the at least one displacement sensor (1, 2) in the partial region or measurement field during thickness measurement.

The invention relates to method and a system for determining the distance between a conducting surface which is profiled in the direction of distance determination and a functional surface moving in relation to said surface by using a measuring system. Two exploring coils are applied to an oscillator system and are connected on the output end to an analog-to-digital converter via a demodulator, said analog-to-digital converter being connected to an arithmetic module. The aim of the invention is to provide a method and a system which allow to effect a distance measurement substantially uninfluenced by the profile of the conducting surface and by variations in ambient temperature. For this purpose, a sensor (1) is used whose second exploring coil (3) is mounted on the first exploring coil (2) facing away from the surface (4) at a defined, known distance. An arithmetic module (31) calculates the distance of the functional surface from the profiled surface (4) using the digital measured values (N1, N2) of the two exploring coils (2, 3) and a digital reference value (N3) and the fixed distance.
