Abstract

The invention relates to a measuring system for measuring the relative positions of a first rotary component and a second rotary component relative to each other, comprising a first measuring unit adapted for mounting on the first rotary component, and a second measuring unit adapted for mounting on the second rotary component, wherein at least one of said measuring units comprises a detector unit for determining the positions of said rotary components. According to the invention, at least one of said measuring units comprises a gyro for detecting the current angular position of said measuring unit at rotation of said rotary components.
