Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0028293A1] The invention relates to a capacitive measuring sensor which instead of detecting the distance between plane-parallel electrode surfaces detects a change in an angle between electrode surfaces positioned at an acute angle to each other and indicates capacitance changes in the form of a sensor signal. The sensor is preferably elongated, in its end regions has two fixing elements connected to a body to be measured and consists of two capacitor electrodes whose mutual angle changes are effected by a displacement between points of fixation on the object to be measured.
