  • Publication number: 20240133714
    Abstract: A device for determining an encoder magnet rotation angle is provided, wherein the device includes an encoder magnet and a number of n greater than or equal to two magnet sensors. The magnetic field includes a plurality of plane-parallel magnetic field planes, wherein a surface normal of the plane-parallel magnetic field planes is parallel to an encoder magnet rotation axis. The magnetic field further includes a plurality of magnetic field vectors in the plane-parallel magnetic field planes. The two magnet sensors are in at least one of the plane-parallel magnetic field planes, wherein a first magnetic field vector has a first angle at a position of a first magnet sensor, and wherein a number n?1 of further ones of the magnet sensors are arranged at positions in the magnetic field whose magnetic field vectors have an angle which satisfies the equation ? i = ? i - 1 + 360 ? ° n , wherein 1<i?n.

  • Patent number: 11913490
    Abstract: A securing device for a pre-assembly of a pin-shaped connecting element in a through-opening of a component The securing element includes a sleeve with and an inner side and with a flat outer wall having a recess arranged therein, and holding elements each of which protrude inwardly. The holding elements are arranged on the inner side of the sleeve. The recess is arranged into the flat outer wall of the sleeve and provides a latching engagement of a lug which is arranged in the through-opening during the pre-assembly.
