The invention concerns a compass having an electro magnetic half-shell transformer energy transmission and opto electronic data transmission. To avoid a slipring connection during the transfer of supply voltage at least one winding on the primary half-shell is connected to a controllable input voltage source via a H-bridge circuit, and at least one secondary winding having taps is provided at the other half-shell coil.

Compass with electromagnetic half-shell transformer energy transmission and optoelectronic data signal transmission

An angle detection device with a data transmission path on an n&middot;360&deg; bearing assembly with at least one scanning disk ( ) arranged on one of two components at right angles to the axis of rotation, and with electro-optical illumination and detection means on the respective components held together by the bearing assembly, for scanning the instantaneous angle of the scanning disk ( ), wherein electro-optical data transmission means are provided on said scanning disk ( ) and on a surface opposite said scanning disk ( ).
