Abstract
A measuring instrument for contactless detection of an angle of rotation is comprised of a supporting plate ( ) made of soft magnetic material, which serves as a rotor. Two segments ( ) that are separated by a slot ( ), a spacing gap ( ), and a third gap ( ) are disposed in a plane in relation to the supporting plate ( ). The spacing gap ( ) in this case is embodied in the segment ( ) in the form of a recess. The gap ( ), however, is disposed in the segment ( ), likewise in the form of a recess. The ratio of the size of the spacing gap ( ) to the gap ( ) can be modulated so that an offset shift of the characteristic curve is produced.
