Abstract
A rotational speed and/or rotational angle detection unit for detecting a rotational speed and/or a rotational angle of a shaft, in particular a crankshaft, of a working device, in particular a vehicle, that is drivable by muscular power and/or by motor power about a rotational axis of the crankshaft, and designed with a surface structure that is materially and/or magnetically formed on a surface of the crankshaft, and a sensor unit that is designed to detect a magnetic field carried by the shaft and by the surface structure.

1-10. (canceled)
A rotational speed and/or rotational angle detection unit for detecting a rotational speed and/or a rotational angle of a crankshaft of a working device or a vehicle that is drivable by muscular power and/or by motor power about a rotational axis of the crankshaft, the rotational speed and/or rotational angle detection unit comprising:
- a surface structure that is materially and/or magnetically formed on a surface of the crankshaft;
- and
- a sensor unit configured to detect a magnetic field carried by the crankshaft and by the surface structure;
- wherein the surface structure is configured as encoding for an angular position of the crankshaft about the rotational axis.
A working device that is drivable with muscular power and/or or by motor power, the working device being a vehicle, or a bicycle, or an electric bicycle, or an e-bike, or a pedelec, comprising:
- at least one wheel;
- a drive configured to drive the at least one wheel;
- and
- a rotational speed and/or rotational angle detection unit configured to detect a rotational speed and/or a rotational angle of a shaft of the drive, including:
- a surface structure that is materially and/or magnetically formed on a surface of the shaft, and
- a sensor unit configured to detect a magnetic field carried by the shaft and by the surface structure,
- wherein the surface structure is configured as encoding for an angular position of the shaft about the rotational axis;
- wherein the drive is monitorable and/or controllable based on the detected rotational speed and/or the detected rotational angle.
