Abstract

A sensor device for detecting rotation, having a position transmitter with a shaft element having first and second shaft ends. The rotation to be detected is introduced via the first shaft end. The shaft element contains a magnet element at the second shaft end, a sensor element for detecting the rotation of the magnet element, and a housing part with at least two sections are separated from each other. The shaft element of the position transmitter is mounted on the first section, and the sensor element is arranged in the second section. The housing part and the shaft element each have a first bearing portion shaped so as to taper towards the shaft end in the region of the second shaft end, the shaft element supported on the housing part on the first bearing portion in order to support the position transmitter on the housing part.
