Angle of rotation sensor

A rotation angle sensor, comprising:

• at least one coil provided with windings;
• a rotatable shaft;
• a magnetically conductive element interacting with the coil and being rotatable with the shaft for transmitting a detectable rotational movement;
• a magnetically conductive U-shaped body including two limbs forming an intermediate space therebetween and a lateral web connecting the two limbs;
• wherein the magnetically conductive element overlaps the magnetically conductive body to a different degree depending upon a rotational position thereof,
• wherein the magnetically conductive element is located outside of a space surrounded by the coil in each rotational position thereof;
• and
• wherein the magnetically conductive body includes bearing points for the shaft formed in free end areas of the two limbs.
