  • Patent number: 10240946
    Abstract: An angle sensor for detecting a rotational angle on the basis of a relative angular position of a physical field. The sensor includes a first sensor element and a second sensor element, between which elements the physical field can be transmitted. The first sensor element includes a blind hole in which the second sensor element is rotatably mounted.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10203221
    Abstract: A method for detecting a phase angle difference between a first periodic measurement signal and a second periodic measurement signal, wherein, for the purpose of determining a torque applied to a shaft, the two periodic measurement signals describe a rotation of the shaft at an axial distance from one another including superimposing a periodic auxiliary signal which simulates a previously known rotational speed for the shaft on the first periodic measurement signal in order to form a superimposition signal, and determining the phase angle difference on the basis of the superimposition signal and the second measurement signal.

  • Patent number: 8499464
    Abstract: Method for detecting an angle of rotation of an angle sensor arrangement including at least one first element and one second element, which are designed and arranged such that they can be rotated relative to one another, and at least one capacitor element whose capacitance changes on the basis of the angle of rotation, the angle of rotation being detected or determined directly or indirectly on the basis of this capacitance of the capacitor element, the capacitor element having at least one first band, and the angle of rotation being detected or determined at least on the basis of the positioning of the first band.
