Abstract
The invention is directed to a swashplate angle sensor () for a variable displacement hydraulic unit (). The hydraulic unit () comprising a housing (), within which a swashplate () with a rod shaped feedback-link () fixedly attached to the swashplate () is arranged pivotable around a swashplate axis (). The angle sensor () comprising a magnet () mounted rotatable on a magnet carrier (), and a sensor () for sensing the orientation of the magnet (). The magnet carrier () is located in a control block () attached to the housing () and is located parallel to the feedback-link (). The magnet carrier () is rotatable around a sensor axis () being parallel to the swashplate axis (). A linkage spring () provides a connection between the feedback-link () and the magnet carrier () such that a pivoting of the swashplate () with the feedback-link () causes a rotation of the magnet carrier ().
