Abstract
Device for transmitting movement to a toothed element forming an input of a position sensor, the transmission device including an output shaft, a first toothed sector rotatably linked to the output shaft and a second toothed sector mounted coaxially to the first toothed sector in order to have an angular displacement relative to the first toothed sector, a return member mounted between the toothed sectors returning the second toothed sector into a predetermined position, characterised in that the return member is arranged such as to magnetically generate a force tending to move the second toothed sector into the predetermined position.
