    摘要: The invention relates to a sensor assembly (10) for detecting rotation of a shaft about an axis of rotation (12), said sensor assembly having a housing (24) in which at least one magnetic field sensor (14) is arranged. The at least one magnetic field sensor (14) is designed to acquire a variation in a magnetic field generated by a magnet device (16) in the sensor assembly (10), which variation is associated with the rotation of the shaft about the axis of rotation (12). A shield device (30) arranged on the housing (24) is provided to shield the at least one magnetic field sensor (14) from the surroundings (28) of the sensor assembly (10). The shield device (30) can be removed from the housing (24), with the shield device (30) being retained on the housing (24) by means of a latching connection.

    摘要: The invention relates to a sensor device (100) having an incremental sensor unit (40, 40′, 40″) for a shaft rotatable about a rotational axis, in particular for a steering shaft of a motor vehicle, wherein the incremental sensor unit (40, 40′, 40″) is designed to acquire at least one defined rotational angle position of the shaft. The incremental sensor unit (40, 40′, 40″) comprises a transmitting element (41, 41″) and a housing-fixed receiving element (42), wherein a signal (MInk_planar) emitted by the transmitting element (41, 41″) and transmitted along a signal path is receivable by the receiving element (42) and it is recognizable on the basis of the signal (MInk_planar) received by the receiving element (42) whether the shaft is located in the defined rotational angle position (δdef) or not. If the shaft reaches the defined rotational angle position (δdef), a signal pulse can be generated. In this case, the transmitting element (41, 41″) is also arranged fixed on the housing, wherein a change of the signal (MInk_planar) can be caused by a rotational movement of the shaft. Furthermore, the invention relates to a motor vehicle having a sensor device (100).
