Abstract: A device is for measuring an angular movement in a vehicle steering system. A shaft, whose angular movement is to be measured, is rotationally mounted in a frame. Positioned on the shaft is an axially displaceable element, which is connected to the shaft via a geared connection that converts the angular movement of the shaft into a longitudinal movement. The geared connection may be a screw thread or a screw-like, sliding-block guide or a recirculating ball screw, etc. The axially displaceable element is axially guided with the aid of a longitudinal guide prestressed in the radial direction and, in particular, by a frame-side component of the longitudinal guide. A detection device made up of a transducer on the axially displaceable element and a sensor on the frame detects the longitudinal movement of the axially displaceable element.
