Abstract
A sensor arrangement in an electromagnetic rotary drive which is designed as a bearing-free motor with a magnetically journalled, permanent magnetic rotor (,) and a stator (,), said sensor arrangement serving for the determination of the direction of the rotor magnetisation and/or of the axial position of the rotor (,), comprises at least two sensors (S,, S,, S,) for the determination of a magnetic flux. The two sensors (S,, S,, S,) are arranged in such a manner with respect to the rotor (,) that partial fluxes of that magnetic field which the stray field of the permanent magnetic rotor (,) produces can be determined with them. Furthermore, a method for the determination of the direction of the rotor magnetisation is proposed.
