1. A slide for a vehicle seat, comprising:
a female rail having at least one substantially planar vertical side wall,
a male rail also having at least one substantially planar vertical side wall, mounted to slide relative to the female rail in the longitudinal direction of the slide, the female rail surrounding the male rail in a transverse direction relative to a length of the slide, with the vertical side wall of the female rail facing the vertical side wall of the male rail,
a position sensor configured to determine the position of the male rail relative to the female rail, at least in the longitudinal direction of the slide,
the position sensor comprising a means for measuring the surrounding magnetic field, the means for measuring fixed to the vertical side wall of the male rail and arranged between the substantially planar wall of the male rail and the substantially planar wall of the female rail and oriented towards the substantially planar wall of the female rail,
the means for measuring the magnetic field being fixed to the vertical side wall of the male rail by means of a spring member configured to urge the position of the means for measuring the magnetic field into engagement with the vertical side wall of the female rail in the transverse direction of the slide, in order to maintain a constant distance between the means for measuring the magnetic field and the vertical side wall of the female rail in the transverse direction of the slide.
