METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MEASURING THE ABSOLUTE ANGLE OF ROTATION

摘要

A method for measuring the absolute angle of rotation and an associated device are described. In such devices, a rotating element interacts with a converter which converts the rotational movement of the rotating element into a linear or curved movement of the converter. The distance covered by the converter on the basis of the rotational movement of the rotating element is measured and is used as a measure of the absolute angle of rotation. This makes it possible to flawlessly detect, in particular, angles of rotation >360° without a large amount of additional effort. The associated device has a corresponding measuring system with an evaluation unit.
