Abstract
A device for determining an angle of rotation and/or a torque of a rotating part, having at least one angle detector for detecting an angular position of the rotating part relative to a reference position and at least one indexer for indexing at a 360° rotation of the rotating part relative to the reference position, the angle detector having a rotor connected in a non-rotatable manner to the rotating part with a base body for attachment to the rotating part and a plurality of vanes extending radially outwardly from the base body. At least one of the vanes of the rotor have a marker detectable by means of the indexer.
Claims18
A device for determining an angle of rotation and/or a torque of a rotating part, the device comprising:
- at least one angle detector to detect an angular position of the rotating part relative to a reference position;
- and
- at least one indexer to index at a predetermined rotation or a 360° rotation of the rotating part relative to the reference position,
- wherein the angle detector comprises a rotor fixedly connected with the rotating part, with a base body for attachment to the rotating part and with several vanes extending radially outward from the base body, and
- wherein at least one of the vanes of the rotor has a marker that is detectable via the indexer.
