Abstract: Angle sensor, in particular for the steering gear of vehicles, with several sensor elements of the same design which are positioned separately in a circumferential direction on a facility which is fastened in a fixed position to the installation aligned at a vertical plane to the axis of the installation on a circular curve concentric with the axis of the installation and which cooperate with a code ring which is coupled to a component of the installation which can rotate around the axis. The angle sensor reduces space requirements and simplifies assembly. The code ring is equipped with n(n>1) geometrically equal code ring segments, each featuring the same codification. The sensor elements and each code ring segment extend over circumferential angle of (360/n).degree..
