摘要:
A device for measuring an angle and/or the torque acting on a rotatable body is proposed according to the invention, whereby the rotational angle is detected by means of magnetic or optical sensors. In particular, in a preferred exemplary embodiment, two devices (7, 8) are proposed, each of which comprises two optically readable code tracks. The two code tracks (1a, 1b or 2a, 2b) on one device (7 or 8) are similar in design and are offset in relation to each other, so that associated sensors (4) output a digital signal. The rotational angle is calculated based on the lag between the two digital signals. In a further embodiment it is provided that a torsion element (5) having a known torsional stiffness is situated between the two devices (7, 8). Torque transferred by the rotatable body (3) can also be calculated therefore from the angular difference of the two devices 7, 8. The device is used preferably in the steering axle of a motor vehicle.
摘要:
A measuring device for contactless detection of a ferromagnetic object, comprising at least one magnet; a magnetic field-sensitive element arranged so that an air gap is provided between the magnetic field-sensitive element and the ferromagnetic object; and a soft-magnetic component located between magnet and the magnetic field-sensitive element on a face of the magnet which points in a direction of the ferromagnetic object to be detected, said soft-magnetic component being formed as a cap-shaped element that has a recess that is open in a direction away from said magnetic field-sensitive element to house the magnet and an opening that is open in a direction of the magnetic field-sensitive element, to house the magnet and opening that is open in a direction of the magnetic field-sensitive element, the soft-magnetic component having a first side wall defining said recess and also having a portion which forms a second side wall defining said opening, said first side wall and said second side wall being in alignment with one another.
