Abstract
A device for detecting the speed of rotation and/or an angle of rotation of a shaft having a motion transmitter which rotates with the shaft, the device consisting of a magnetic-field-dependent sensor which receives a signal from the motion transmitter. A permanent magnet is arranged in the vicinity of the sensor with an evaluating circuit, the sensor being an integrating component of the evaluating circuit. The arrangement of the permanent magnet with respect to the sensor and of the permanent magnet and sensor with respect to the motion transmitter, on the one hand, and the construction of the sensor as a saturable-core probe (fluxgate effect), on the other hand, make it possible to detect even very slow rotational movements such as occur, for example, with antiblocking systems or forward drive control systems in motor vehicles.
