Abstract
A device is provided for operating a brake system of a motor vehicle having an electric motor, which is configured for driving a pressure generation unit in order to generate hydraulic pressure; a housing block of a hydraulic unit, which is able to be connected to the pressure generation unit and the brake system of the motor vehicle; a control unit for controlling the electric motor; and a rotary position sensor of the electric motor, the electric motor being fixed in place on a first side of the housing block of the hydraulic unit, and the control unit being fixed in place on a second side, situated opposite from the first side, of the housing block of the hydraulic unit, and the rotary position sensor of the electric motor being situated in such a way that it detects a rotational frequency and/or an angular position of a rotor of the electric motor and is connected to the control unit by an opening developed in the housing block of the hydraulic unit. Also provided is a method for operating a brake system of a motor vehicle, and to a rotary position sensor.
