Abstract
A variable reluctance absolute angular position sensor, having at least one stator detector (2). The dector includes: at least one stationary magnetic circuit (4, 4', 4') of ferromagnetic material provided with a length of annular housing (5, 5', 5'), and extending over an angular sector .alpha.; and at least one annular winding (6) housed in part in the annular housing; and at least one rotor unit (3) comprising at least one annular segment (7) of ferromagnetic material extending over an angular sector .beta. of no more than 360.degree.-.alpha., and situated facing the winding (6) and being rotated coaxially with the winding (6) while facing the winding in such a manner that magnetic flux passes radially between the stator detector (2) and the rotor unit (3).
