Abstract
A sensor system is disclosed for detecting positions of two at least partially ferritic components that can move relative to one another, namely a stationary component and a component that can move lengthwise along a longitudinal extension of the stationary component, which are mounted right next to one another. The sensor system can include a Hall sensor and a preloaded magnet, eliminating flux concentrators and shielding sheets. The Hall sensor and the preloaded magnet are arranged along a longitudinal extension of the movable component such that relative movement of the two components is detected by monitoring a free longitudinal end of the stationary component.
