Abstract
A sensor device is disclosed. The sensor device includes a torque sensor unit and a steering angle sensor unit for a motor vehicle. The torque sensor unit is configured to detect a torque which is applied to a steering shaft, rotatable about a main axis of rotation. The torque sensor unit includes at least one torque sensor magnetic unit to generate a torque sensor magnetic field and at least one torque magnetic sensor to generate a torque sensor signal as a function of a torque applied to the shaft. The steering angle sensor unit is configured to detect a rotary angle of the shaft. The steering angle sensor unit includes a main rotor, a first secondary rotor, and a first steering angle magnetic sensor.
