Abstract

A steering torque sensor assembly includes a magnetically coded steering shaft section, which forms a primary sensor, and a secondary sensor for converting the changes in a magnetic field generated by the primary sensor into an electrical signal. The secondary sensor is situated on a sensor circuit board which runs parallel to the steering shaft section and is positioned opposite the primary sensor.
