Patent ID: 8813578

Claim:
A sensor system, comprising: a rotational angle sensor for detecting a rotational angle, wherein the rotational angle sensor has a rotatable rotational angle transmitter having index elements; and a torque sensor for detecting a torque, wherein the torque sensor has (i) a rotatable torque transmitter having magnets which generate a magnetic field, and (ii) a magnetic flux unit for amplifying the magnetic field; wherein the index elements and the magnetic flux unit are connected to one another in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the rotational angle transmitter is configured as a multi-pole wheel having circularly situated index elements, wherein the torque transmitter is configured as a magnet unit having circularly situated magnets, wherein the multi-pole wheel and the magnet unit have a common axis, wherein the index elements of the rotational angle transmitter are configured as magnets of the multi-pole wheel, and wherein the at least one rotational angle pickup is configured as a magnetic-field-sensitive sensor.
