The invention relates to a magnet retention member () which can be fitted to a wall () of a locking sleeve () for a gear mechanism, a locking sleeve () and a position sensor arrangement () for a gear mechanism. In order to be able to produce the position sensor arrangement () with the magnet retention member () and/or the locking sleeve () in the most cost-effective manner possible, there is provision according to the invention for the magnet retention member () to have a retention slot () for receiving a wall () of the locking sleeve (), which is flanked by retention arms () of the magnet retention member (), the wall () having a securing portion () for the magnet retention member () and the position sensor () having a magnet retention member () according to the invention and/or a locking sleeve () according to the invention.

An indicator element for a magnetic rotation angle sensor having a field probe for generating a sensor signal in response to a geometric position of the indicator element relative to the field probe is disclosed. The indicator element has a permanent magnet with an annular cross-section having a plurality of segments, magnetization of the segments being in different directions so that a homogeneous magnetic field is formed in an inner region of the indicator element into which the field probe is arranged. At least two segments exhibit radial or diametrical magnetization and at least two segments exhibit lateral magnetization.
