In a measuring system for the contactless measurement of the position of two elements (1, 2) which are displaceable in relation to each other while the first element (1) is provided with a marking track containing a signal which is variable in the measuring direction and the second element (2) is provided with a sensor for the detection of said signal, said signal contains an absolute component which represents an unequivocal relationship between the signal and the mutual position of the two elements (1, 2) in any mutual position of the two elements (1, 2) and at any time and thus constitutes a measure of the absolute mutual position of the two elements (1, 2). Said absolute component of the signal is a monotonous and continuous function of the position to be measured. This allows to determine the absolute mutual position of said elements (1, 2) at any time without the need of mutually displacing said elements for the purpose of an initialization.

La présente invention porte sur un système de mesurage sans contact de la position de deux éléments (1,2) qui peuvent se déplacer l'un par rapport à l'autre. Est associée au premier élément (1), une voie de marquage à signal, lequel signal varie en fonction de la direction de mesurage, tandis que le deuxième élément (2) est muni d'un capteur pour détecter ledit signal qui comprend un composant absolu représentant le rapport univoque entre le signal et la position des deux éléments l'un par rapport à l'autre (1,2), en tout temps et peu importe leur position, ce qui fournit une mesure de la position absolue des deux éléments l'un par rapport à l'autre (1,2). Ledit composant absolu du signal représente une fonction monotone et continue de la position à mesurer, ce qui permet de déterminer la position absolue des éléments (1,2) l'un par rapport à l'autre, en tout temps et sans recours au déplacement des éléments l'un par rapport à l'autre aux fins de l'initialisation.
