Abstract:
1. An assembly for sensing the angular position of a rotatable shaft, the sensor comprising: a bearing ring connectable to the shaft, the bearing ring having first and second recesses; a driving gear rotatable about a rotational axis, the driving gear having first and second entraining elements, the entraining elements extending radially toward the rotational axis of the driving gear and are arranged opposite one another with respect to a circumference of the driving gear, the entraining elements respectively penetrating 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; and a measuring gear rotatable about a rotational axis, the measuring gear being engaged with the driving gear such that the measuring gear rotates as the driving gear rotates; wherein one of the entraining elements is resilient.
