Arrangement for measuring the angular position of an object
First Claim
1. An arrangement for measuring the angular position of an object, using planar magnetoresistive sensors (6, 9) through which an electric current flows and which are arranged in a magnetic field which is parallel to a plane defined by their surface, which magnetic field is generated by an arrangement of magnets (4, 14) rotatably journaled on a shaft (11), the angular position of the shaft (11) corresponding to that of the object to be measured, characterized in that the rotationally symmetrical arrangement of magnets (4, 14) is eccentrically journaled with respect to the axis of symmetry.

Abstract
Arrangement for measuring the angular position of an object, using planar magnetoresistive sensors (6, 9) through which an electric current flows and which are arranged in a magnetic field which is parallel to their respective planes, which magnetic field is generated by an arrangement of magnets (4, 14) rotatably journaled eccentrically on a shaft (11), the angular position of the shaft (11) corresponding to that of the object to be measured.
