Abstract

In order to be able to compensate different temperature expansion of a magnetic tape, (measuring tape) and a support ring in an angle sensor where the magnetic tape is applied to a circumference of a component and where a scanning head is used, the magnetic tape is fixated at the support ring at the most at one location of the circumference and otherwise supported at the circumference with a tension band, so that the measuring tape can perform a movement relative to the support ring, and/or the tension band due to the expansion in circumferential direction.
