Abstract
A sensor arrangement is configured to detect rotational angles on a rotating component in a vehicle. The rotating component is coupled to at least one measurement transmitter which generates at least one piece of angle information in connection with at least one measurement sensor in order to determine the rotational angle of the rotating component. A first measurement transmitter and a first measurement sensor form a first angle sensor which generates first angle information that is dependent on the rotational movement of the rotating component, and a second measurement transmitter and a second measurement sensor form a second angle sensor which generates second angle information that is dependent on the rotational movement of the rotating component. A current rotational angle of the rotating component is ascertained from the first angle information and the second angle information. The first angle sensor and the second angle sensor are designed as inductive sensors.
