  • Patent number: 11761975
    Abstract: An inductive rotational speed sensor, including: a coil body having a coil and connecting lines which at least partially extend axially or radially with respect to the coil windings; a casing formed from a plastics material and at least partially enclosing the coil body; and a fixing device for facilitating a configuration of the casing, the fixing device including: for radially extending connecting lines, a material core clearance in the casing so as to fix the electrical connecting lines at a mutual spacing when configuring the casing; or an anti-twist safeguard to prevent the coil body rotating relative to a tool used for configuring the casing while the latter is being configured, wherein the anti-twist safeguard partially protrudes from the casing, or extends at least up to an external surface of the casing. Also described is a related method.

  • Publication number: 20220018870
    Abstract: A coil body for an inductive rotational speed sensor, including: a base body having at least one winding region for coil windings about an axial axis and an opening for receiving a pole assembly along the axial axis; and two current rails, each of which run parallel to the axial axis and include a contact region for electrical connection cables to connect the coil in the winding region to the electrical connection cables, in which each of the contact regions includes at least one bendable section to guide the electrical connection cables at least in some sections parallel to the axial axis or, perpendicular thereto, in a radial manner. Also described are a related inductive rotational speed sensor, and related methods.
