Apparatus for non-contact measurement of the distance between a detecting coil and a metallic body mounted in confronting relation thereto comprising a differential amplifier to one terminal of which is connected a reference oscillator and to the other terminal of which is connected a feedback circuit. The feedback circuit incorporates the detecting coil and the amplified differential output signal between the AC signals applied to the differential amplifier and the signal supplied to the differential amplifier resulting from the impedance of the detecting coil corresponding to the distance between the detecting coil and the metallic body are thus a measure of the distance. At least one of the parameters of open-loop gain of the differential amplifier and the amount of feedback in the feedback circuit is pre-determined so as to linearize at least for a pre-determined measuring range the output characteristics of the differential amplifier resulting from the variation of the detecting coil impedance caused by the variation of the distance.

In measuring the distance between a measuring sensor and a metallic body, the sensor is comprised by a resonance circuit including a capacitor and a coil, and the sensor is connected to the input of a Q multiplier circuit which is impressed with an AC signal having a predetermined frequency. The non-linear distance-inductance characteristic of the coil is compensated for by adjusting the selectivity of the resonance circuit so that the amplifier included in the Q multiplier circuit produces a linear output. Such compensation is performed by adjusting the gain and/or the amount of positive feedback of the Q multiplier circuit.

An apparatus for measuring the temperature of a metallic body in a non-contact maner includes an electronic circuitry for measuring a change in the impedance of a detecting coil arranged oppposite to the metallic body. The electronic circuitry comprises an operational amplifier, a negative feedback circuit with adjustable feedback factor, a positive feedback circuit, an oscillator, a phase shifter circuit and a synchronous detection circuit. The change in the impedance of the detecting coil is caused by the effect of eddy current produced by the application of alternating field to the metallic body, and this impedance change is dependent on change in the temperature of the metallic body. By adjusting the negative feedback factor .beta..sub.N of the negative feedback circuit and the phase angle .theta. of the phase shifter circuit in the electronic circuitry, the relationship between the distance measured between the detecting coil and the metallic body and the measured output level, the temperature measuring sensitivity relative to the temperature of the metallic body and the temperature measuring sensitivity relative to the measuring distance can be determined as desired.

The detector comprises a reference AC signal generator with one terminal grounded, a feedback amplifier having one input connected to receive the reference AC signal; a feedback network coupled to the output of the feedback amplifier, the other input of the feedback amplifier, and the grounded terminal so as to supply a feedback voltage between the grounded terminal and the other input of the feedback amplifier; and a detector for detecting the output of the feedback amplifier. The feedback network includes two serially connected detection coils spaced in the direction of movement of a metallic member to be detected to vary their impedances in accordance with the variation in the electric or magnetic characteristic of the metallic member. Further, the pair of detection coils are arranged such that when the homogeneous portions of the metallic member pass by these coils they provide a substantially constant feedback ratio whereas when a portion having electric or magnetic characteristic different from those of the homogeneous portions passes between the detection coils, the inversion between a larger feedback ratio than the constant value and a smaller feedback ratio than the constant value is obtained, thereby detecting the position of the portion to be detected.
