The invention relates to a distance sensor, comprising a sensor for a vehicle and a means of compensating for travel, not just in a straight line, but also in bends with angle misalignment and curved trajectories.

At the through tunnel (2) there are a first distance detector (12) and a second one (18) at a spaced away from the first.

A distance sensor and a magnetic bearing device with such a sensor are disclosed.

When the distance detector detects the distance, the controller holds the AC power supply in a standby state.

A traveling-distance-counting distance sensor is provided on the traveling vehicle.

The distance (L1) to a tubeless tire (12L) is detected by a distance sensor (25).

The volume is regulated using a distance sensor (4).

The viewing and positioning system comprises a camera (10), a contact sensor (11) and a distance sensor (12).

The scanner includes a range detector, preferably laser-based, which determines the distance to the scanned code, and the liquid lens is controlled to focus at the detected distance.

The endoscope may include a distance sensor, which is used to determine a distance between the endoscope and a sample.

The sensor (17) can especially be a distance sensor for detecting the position of a person.

The robot (1) measures the distance to objects in the movement environment using a distance sensor (11).

While one (5a) of the optical distance detectors is detecting the distance, the other optical distance detector (5b) operates the irradiated light to stop detecting the distance.

A distance sender unit is provided for giving the distance between the two walls.

The response path of said unit is substantially shorter than the distance between the two walls.
