Abstract

A steering angle sensor for motor vehicles for determining the steering angle of a steering element of a steering wheel assembly, which is rotatable during a steering movement is provided. The steering angle sensor comprises a rotatably mounted drive element which during a rotary movement of the steering element likewise performs a rotary movement, and a rotatably mounted driven element which is in engagement with the drive element and is driven by the same. The steering angle is determined by detecting the rotary movement and/or the angle of rotation of the driven element. The drive element and/or the driven element include elastic means via which the drive element and the driven element are braced against each other.
