Device for determining an absolute angle of rotation

摘要

A device for determining an absolute angle of rotation of a rotation axis ( 12 ) includes a first measurement arrangement for measuring an angle of rotation in a limited first measurement range and a second measurement arrangement for determining an absolute angle range. The second measurement arrangement comprises a deflection element ( 20 ) and a rotation element. The deflection element undergoes a deflection dependent on the rotation of the rotation axis ( 12 ). The deflection, in turn, is converted into a rotation of the rotation element ( 22 ).
