Angle sensor

Abstract

An assembly for sensing the angular position of a rotatable shaft includes a bearing ring, a driving gear, and a measuring gear. The bearing ring is connectable to the shaft and has two recesses. The driving gear is rotatable about a rotational axis and has two entraining elements. The entraining elements extend radially toward the rotational axis of the driving gear and are arranged opposite one another with respect to the circumference of the driving gear. The entraining elements respectively penetrate into the recesses of the bearing ring such that the driving gear is connected to the bearing ring and rotates as the bearing ring rotates. The measuring gear is rotatable about a rotational axis and is engaged with the driving gear such that the measuring gear rotates as the driving gear rotates. One of the entraining elements is resilient.
