Abstract

An inductive sensor assembly is used for detecting a change in position of an actuating element. The sensor assembly has: an LC resonant circuit having an inductive element (L) and a capacitive element (C); an excitation supply which is coupled to the LC resonant circuit in order to excite the LC resonant circuit with an excitation voltage (U); a decoupling element arranged between the excitation supply and the LC resonant circuit; and, an evaluation arrangement for evaluating the signal decreasing across the resonant circuit. An actuating assembly is also provided.
