Abstract

A position sensor for an actuator having a measuring shaft capable of pivoting less than, for example, 360° around a pivot axis. The position sensor can include an angle sensor to detect an actual angular position of the measuring shaft relative to a stationary reference point. The measuring shaft can include a first section extending coaxially to the pivot axis for introducing a pivotal movement to the measuring shaft corresponding to a control movement of an actuator rod, and a second section extending coaxially to the pivot axis to which a measuring shaft-based angle sub-sensor can be attached.
