Abstract

An angle sensor is proposed, preferably a no-contact angle sensor, particularly for use in motor vehicles, with the angle sensor including a component (10) that is carried along by the arrangement whose angular displacement is to be monitored, and a measuring device (12) for determining the rotational displacement angle (13, .PSI.). The measuring device (12, 14, 16) is hermetically encapsulated and includes a magnetic coupling (22, 24) between the carried-along component (10) and the measuring device (12, 14, 16).
