A position detection device for detecting several positions of a structural
component, which can move along a guide track by means of a sensor device
that can be fixed to the guide track is suggested that comprises at least
a first position sensor element (10) which extends along a partial range
of the guide track for continuous position detection, and which is
permanently connected via a flexible signal conductor arrangement (11) to
at least one second position sensor element (12). One of the sensor
elements (10) comprises a sensor signal connection (13) for the signals of
all sensor elements (10,12) so that only one sensor cable (15) is
required.
