  • Angular position measuring device having a movable stop element to limit the axial spring motion between a maching part and a second assembly and measuring system having such an angular position measuring device
    Patent number: 7365304
    Abstract: An angular position measuring device includes two assemblies. The first assembly is rotatable with respect to the second assembly about an axis. A coupling is arranged at the second assembly, which has an elastic spring behavior in the direction of the axis. Furthermore, a stopping element is assigned to the angular position measuring device. The angular position measuring device is attachable to a machine part. If coupling is not prestressed, there is a free gap between the machine part and the second assembly, having an extension in the direction of the axis. The stopping element is able to be brought into a stopping position in which at least one region of the stopping element is in operative connection to the second assembly for the limitation of the axial spring motions. A measuring system includes such an angular position measuring device.
