  • Patent number: 10066963
    Abstract: A sensing head (1) for a transducer for capturing rotation or linear parameters, of a rotatable or linearly movable component, in particular of a shaft (13), includes a housing (2), a first sensor unit (3) and a second sensor unit (5) arranged on the housing (2) and arranged in a circumferential direction (U) of the rotatable component offset in relation to each other. The first sensor unit has a first sensor surface (4) and the second sensor unit has a second sensor surface (6). Each of the sensor units (3, 5) can be rotated about a rotation axis (7, 30) such that the sensor surfaces (4, 6) are pivotable to each other in at least two different angular positions. The rotation axes (7, 30) of the sensor units (3, 5) are located on the sides (34, 36) of the sensor units (3, 5); forming the sensor surfaces (4, 6).
