A sensor assembly for an electromechanical steering system of a motor vehicle may include a measuring device and a control device. The measuring device may include a torque sensor unit and an index sensor unit. The torque sensor unit may be connected to the control device by a power supply line to supply said unit with electrical energy. The sensor assembly is configured to transmit an index signal of the index sensor unit to the control device by modulating a signal that is transmittable via the power supply line.

Sensor assembly

An angle sensor unit for measuring a rotational angle of a rotational position of a steering shaft of a motor vehicle may include a multipole magnetic ring that has a number of pole pairs and can be connected in a torque-proof manner to the steering shaft, at least two magnetic field sensors that are assigned to the multipole magnetic ring, and an evaluation unit that is configured to determine a rotational angle on the basis of the signals of the at least two magnetic field sensors. The at least two magnetic field sensors may be offset in a circumferential direction on an outside of the multipole magnetic ring such that a magnetic field that originates from the multipole magnetic ring, in a region of the two magnetic field sensors, has an approximate equal absolute value with opposite signs.
