Abstract: The laundry in a rotating, obliquely mounted drum falls in the direction of action of gravitational force and therefore is no longer perpendicularly with respect to the axis of rotation of the drum, which results in an uneven distribution over the axial length of the drum, this leading to wobbling movement during the rotation of the drum that cannot be measured by conventional rotational sensor systems with their rigid attachment. In order to be able to counteract such movements on the drive side, these two further components of inertia have to be sensed orthogonally with respect to the main axis of inertia. For this purpose, the output signal of the rotational sensor, which signal indicates the rotational speed of the drum, experiences a variation in its output signal, the variation being dependent on the additional pitching and yawing movements of the laundry drum.
