Plain-English summary
Problem
How can corrosion in underground pipelines and conduits be prevented?
Solution
position sensor including a supporting structure bearing two elements capable of translational movement relative to one another in a first direction, namely a magnetic-field-emitting element for generating a magnetic field, and a magnetic-field-detecting element.
Key novelty
The magnetic-field-emitting element is arranged in such a way that an orientation of the magnetic field, which orientation is considered in a first plane orthogonal to the first direction, changes as a function of a distance separating the first plane from a first end of the magnetic-field-emitting element.
