Abstract
A coupling for the torsion-proof, but radially resilient connection of a stator of an angle encoder with a stator of an object to be measured, the coupling includes a spring element that is either normally in a first position but when the spring element is bent out by a bending force the spring element moves from the first position through a click point to a second position where the spring element engages a portion of the angle encoder or the spring element normally is biased in a first position but when the bias of the spring element at said first position is canceled the spring element is moved to a second position where the spring element engages a portion of the angle encoder.

A coupling for the torsion-proof, but radially resilient connection of a stator of an angle encoder with a stator of an object to be measured, said coupling comprising:
- a base;
- and
- a spring element attached to said base, said spring element normally in a first position but when said spring element is bent out by a bending force said spring element moves from said first position through a click point to a second position.
A coupling for the torsion-proof, but radially resilient connection of a stator of an angle encoder with a stator of an object to be measured, said coupling comprising:
- a base;
- and
- a spring element attached to said base, said spring element normally biased in a first position but when said bias of said spring element at said first position is canceled said spring element is moved to a second position.
An angle sensor, comprising:
- a first stator and a shaft for measuring an angular position between a second stator of an object to be measured and a rotor, which is rotated with respect to said second stator around an axis of rotation;
- a coupling for torsion-proof, but radially resilient connection of said first stator with said second stator, said coupling comprising:
- a base;
- and
- a spring element attached to said base, said spring element normally in a first position but when said spring element is bent out by a bending force said spring element moves from said first position through a click point to a second position.
