Abstract: A current sensor comprises a magnetic field sensor and a T-shaped ferromagnetic structure having an air gap. The current sensor is arranged in a recess of a busbar.

Abstract: A sensor apparatus (01) is for determining a rotation angle position of a rotatable shaft (02). The sensor apparatus (01) comprises a main gear wheel (03), which is coaxially coupled to the rotatable shaft (02), and a secondary gear wheel (04), which is arranged so as to be rotatably coupled on the main gear wheel (03). The sensor apparatus (01) furthermore comprises two targets (06, 07), each of which is arranged on a lateral face of the main gear wheel (03) or of the secondary gear wheel (04), and two rotation angle sensors (08, 09), which are arranged in the immediate vicinity of the main gear wheel (03) and the secondary gear wheel (04) on a circuit board (05). The angles of the main gear wheel (03) and of the secondary gear wheel (04) are determined and forwarded as an angular signal to an evaluating unit (10) arranged on the circuit board.

Abstract: Two ferromagnetic elements are disclosed that delimit a region for an electrical conductor, in which a current intensity should be measured. Each ferromagnetic element has an end surface. The end surfaces of the two ferromagnetic elements face each other and delimit an air gap. A magnetic field sensor is arranged in the air gap or near the air gap. The region delimited by the ferromagnetic elements is open on a side opposite the air gap and can thus receive the electrical conductor. The current intensity is measured by means of a magnetic field measurement. The ferromagnetic elements can be, in particular, L-shaped.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a sensor assembly for simultaneously capturing an angular position and a torque of a rotatable shaft. The sensor assembly comprises, for determining the angular position, a main body, two additional bodies, which are arranged coupled for rotation on the main body, and two angle resolvers, which are arranged on a circuit board in the immediate vicinity of the additional bodies. In this arrangement, the angles of the additional bodies are determined by the angle resolvers and passed as an angle signal to an evaluation unit arranged on the circuit board. The sensor assembly further comprises a direct coating, which captures a torque signal from the rotating shaft and passes this signal over a connection line to the evaluation unit. The connection line has a section wound multiple times around the shaft to permit a rotation of the shaft by at least +/?900°.

Abstract: A steering torque sensor assembly includes a magnetically coded steering shaft section, which forms a primary sensor, and a secondary sensor for converting the changes in a magnetic field generated by the primary sensor into an electrical signal. The secondary sensor is situated on a sensor circuit board which runs parallel to the steering shaft section and is positioned opposite the primary sensor.

Abstract: A method test an arrangement for measuring a torque acting on a steering shaft of a motor vehicle. The measurement is carried out using the inverse magnetostrictive effect. The steering shaft has an axis and at least two magnetization areas extending circumferentially around the axis. The arrangement comprises at least four magnetic field sensors for measuring an axial component of a magnetic field caused by the magnetization as well as by the torque. There are at least two combinations of at least two of the magnetic field sensors each, each of which is sufficient to measure the torque. First and second measurement values of the torque are determined with first and second combinations of the magnetic field sensors. The first measurement value and the second measurement value are compared, as a result of which a malfunction of the arrangement can be recognized.
