Abstract
A device for detecting rotary movement has a rotary part configured to be fixedly connected to a motor shaft and rotate with the motor shaft. One or more sensors are positioned opposite the rotary part and configured to sense rotary movement of the rotary part and transmit signals derived from the rotary movement. A processing unit is connected to the sensor and receives and processes the signals transmitted by the sensor. A receptacle is provided to secure the sensor. The sensor and the receptacle have positioning elements cooperating with one, another so as to adjust a position of the sensor relative to the rotary part in a rotational direction of the rotary part. The device cooperates with a mounting device for mounting and positioning the rotary part relative to the sensor.
