Abstract

The invention relates to a magnetic position sensor in the case of which at least two stator elements are arranged in a magnetic field and a magnetic field probe is located in the measuring air gap between the stator elements, a means tracking a moving object being arranged parallel to the plane defined by the stator elements. A magnetic position sensor which can be produced simply and cost-effectively has a stator element and a magnetic field probe which are arranged on a common supporting element.
