  • Publication number: 20120092029
    Abstract: An exemplary sensor arrangement is disclosed for contactless determination of the instantaneous angular position of a shaft which has a transmitter, which is arranged thereon such that they rotate together and interacts with at least one pick-up, which is installed in a fixed position with respect thereto, for determining the angular position of the shaft. The fixed-position pick-up is formed by a first and a second circular disk, which are aligned plane-parallel with respect to one another and each have a central hole for guiding the shaft. The first disk is subdivided into four equal circular segments which are in the form of mutually isolated electrodes. The second disk is in the form of an opposing electrode with respect to the first disk. The transmitter is arranged as a solid dielectric, which is in the form of a disk, between the two disks and essentially has the form of a semicircle which is rigidly connected to the shaft.
