Abstract

An exemplary embodiment of a sensor system includes a magnet system which is designed to generate a magnetic field. Furthermore, the sensor system includes a first magnetic field sensor which is movable in a first direction relative to the magnet system and has a first distance from the magnet system in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The sensor system also includes a second magnetic field sensor which is movable in the first direction relative to the magnet system and has a second distance from the magnet system in the second direction, the second distance being greater than the first distance.
