  • Patent number: 11333527
    Abstract: A screening system for a magnetic rotary-encoder sensor system in an environment of a machine including a magnetic noise field, wherein the rotary-encoder sensor system comprises a magnetic sensor, a pole wheel, and preferably a pole-wheel carrier, wherein the pole wheel comprises in a circumferential direction a plurality of permanent magnets of alternating magnetic polarity generating a useful field, wherein the pole-wheel carrier is configured to be mounted in a rotationally-fixed manner to a rotating machine shaft extending axially, rotational speed and/or angular position of which is to be determined by means of the rotary-encoder sensor system, wherein the magnetic sensor is positioned, in a mounted state of the rotary-encoder sensor system relative to the machine shaft, in a rotational plane of the pole wheel, which can affect the noise field, and directly opposite to the pole wheel, wherein the screening system comprises at least one magnetically conducting, preferably machine-fixed, deflection elemen

  • Patent number: 9528856
    Abstract: The present invention relates einen energy-self-sufficient multiturn rotary encoder for detecting a number of complete 360° revolutions of an encoder shaft, rotating about a rotational axis and to which an excitation magnet is mounted in a rotationally fixed manner for generating an external magnetic field, as well as for determining an absolute rotational angle indicating a fine-resolved position within one 360° revolution of the encoder shaft, wherein the multiturn rotary encoder for energy-self sufficiently detecting the number of the complete 360° revolutions of the encoder shaft several functional blocks comprises. Further, a corresponding method is taught.
