Abstract
A rotary angle encoder in which the adjustment of the sensor signal desired in the starting position can be changed by simple manipulation. In the rotary angle encoder set forth herein, upon assembly, the coupling is slid only partially onto a cylindrical shaft connected to the sensor part in a first position. In this first position, the coupling can be rotated in relation to the sensor part. Then the sensor signal desired in the starting position is set and after that, the coupling is slid still further onto the cylindrical shaft so that an unintentional rotation of both parts in relation to each other is not possible after the adjustment is complete. The rotary angle encoder is provided for controlling the power of a vehicle drive unit.
