Abstract
The invention relates to a rotary angle encoder for motor vehicle applications for pedal value transducers and clutch actuators. The rotary angle encoder includes a rotatably having a rotatably supported transducer shaft, which is coupled to a movable device so that it can be rotated thereby in accordance with the position thereof, and which cooperates with a rotary angle sensor that furnishes an electrical rotary angle signal. The rotary angle sensor includes at least one linear sensor coil, disposed stationary relative to the rotational motion of the transducer shaft and has a coil core retained displaceably in it. The coil core is displaceable by the transducer shaft via a crank mechanism, and the coil axis corresponding to the direction of displacement of the coil core in the sensor coil is disposed perpendicular to the pivot axis of the transducer shaft.
