A sensor assembly is provided for determining an angular position of a rotor in relation to a stator, including two components, a magnet and a sensor, where the components are arranged in such a way that the components can be rotated in relation to each other about an axis of rotation, and the sensor includes a first and a second sensor pair, each having a first and a second sensor element. A straight line is associated with each sensor pair, along which straight line the two sensor elements lie and which straight line intersects with the axis of rotation, where the first sensor element has a smaller distance from the axis of rotation than the second sensor element, and the straight line associated with the first sensor pair is spaced apart from the straight line associated with the second sensor pair by a rotational angle about the axis of rotation.
