Abstract
A method of determining an angle of rotation and/or a rotational speed of a motor shaft () of a motor () which is designed to produce a translational movement of a control element () relative to the motor (). The method includes a step of reading in a movement signal via an interface with at least one sensor element () arranged outside the motor () such that the movement signal represents a translational movement of the control element () relative to the motor. In addition, the method further includes a step in which, using the movement signal, the angle of rotation and/or the rotational speed of the motor shaft () is/are determined.
