Sensor arrangement for use in e.g. steering angle sensor system for motor vehicle, has magnetic field sensors that are shiftably arranged with respect to cylinder axis of encoder around defined angle amount to each other

摘要

The arrangement has a magnetic encoder (1), which has the cylindrical form and magnetization, where the magnetic encoder is designed parallel to a cylinder base. Two magnetic field sensors (2a,2b) are provided, where the magnetic encoder is movable with respect to the magnetic field sensors in a contact free manner. The magnetic field sensors are radially positioned with respect to a cylinder axis of the encoder. The magnetic field sensors are shiftably arranged with respect to the cylinder axis of the encoder around a defined angle amount to each other. An independent claim is also included for a method for measuring an angle of rotation using the sensor arrangement.
