  • Patent number: 5609184
    Abstract: The proposed device is intended for use in motor vehicles and permits a high level of accuracy in measurement and simple and cost-effective manufacture. It comprises a shaft component (12) arranged adjustably in a housing element (21) and a rotating unit (20') of a rotation angle sensor (2) which can move in relation to the fixed unit (20). The stator element (21) consists of two rounded cusp-shaped subcomponents held with a bracing unit and secured in a stator mount (23). There is a clearance recess between the subcomponents of the stator element. The rotating unit (20') is a ring-shaped magnet element (24) held by a magnet holder (26,27) connected to the shaft element (12); this arrangement allows the magnet element (24) to move around the stator element subcomponents leaving an air gap (25). The housing element (13) can be constructed in many parts.
