Abstract
A rotary position transducer assembly for a rotary connection on a work machine, between a first rotary element and a second rotary element, includes a rotary position transducer and a roll-off element coupled to the rotary position transducer, configured to roll off on the circumferential area on the first rotary element. The rotary position transducer detects a rotational movement about a first rotational axis of the roll-off element. The rotary position transducer assembly further includes a bearing securing the roll-off element to the second rotary element such that the roll-off element can be translationally adjusted to vary a distance between the roll-off element and the first rotary element.
