Abstract

La présente invention concerne un appareil de mesure permettant de déterminer le réglage du volume de déplacement de machines à pistons axiaux de tout type, dont le volume de déplacement peut être réglé à des valeurs différentes par un organe de réglage déplaçable. A cet effet, l'appareil comprend une surface de contact couplée avec l'organe de réglage de façon à se déplacer avec lui, et un ensemble de détection comportant au moins un palpeur pour détecter les variations de la position de la surface de contact, le palpeur et la surface de contact étant chacun en contact mutuel avec un point de contact. Pour observer avec cet appareil de mesure également des fonctions ayant des courses différentes, l'invention propose que, pour le déplacement commun avec l'organe de réglage (1), l'orientation de la surface de contact (9) puisse tourner autour d'un axe de rotation (A) disposé à une certaine distance (x, r) du point de contact (22, 23; 26, 27; 34, 35). L'angle de rotation (alpha) de la surface de contact (9) ainsi que la distance (x, r) déterminent le déplacement de mesure (a, b) du palpeur (7; 19; 30, 31), lequel déplacement est proportionnel à la valeur du réglage correspondant de l'organe de réglage (1).
