The invention concerns a rotation angle sensor, in particular a steering angle sensor (1) for a steering unit, with a housing (2) comprising an exterior (8), a pick-up sensor (7) arranged in a sensor chamber in the housing (2) to perform rotary movements around a rotation axis, and a stationary receiver interacting with the pick-up sensor (7). It is endeavored to make such steering angle sensors fit for rough environmental conditions. For this purpose, the sensor chamber is connected to the exterior (8) via at least one free space (16).

The invention provides a steering system comprising a controlled element which is movable in a neutral area comprising a neutral position and in areas on opposite sides of the neutral area based on a steering input and a handle for requesting a desired position for the controlled element. The handle is movable between set-points in a centre zone comprising a centre set-point and set-points on opposite sides of the centre zone. Furthermore, a steering unit is arranged to receive set-points from the handle, to determine a corresponding controlled position of the controlled element, and to move the controlled element to said controlled position. In order to prevent or reduce jerks, the steering unit is adapted to vary a speed by which the controlled element is moved to the controlled position. The speed is variable in dependence of the received set-point.

The invention provides a method of calibrating a steering system for a vehicle, e.g. an off-highway machinery, to allow automatic steering based on input from a position or tracking system, e.g. based on a Global Positioning System (GPS). At least two records, each comprising a position value and a curvature value are established. The position value represents a position of the steered element, e.g. a position of a steered wheel of the vehicle, and the curvature value could e.g. be expressed as a radius of a curve followed by the vehicle with that position of the steered element. The curvature value is determined by the positioning system during movement of the vehicle. Due to the records, it is easy to calibrate or recalibrate the system and the invention is therefore applicable e.g. in connection with manufacturing of vehicles in small batch numbers, e.g. for one of a kind production or for retrofitting of steering components to existing vehicles. The invention further provides a method of operating the vehicle and a steering system incorporating the above mentioned calibration method.
