First Claim
Patent Images
1. An actuator with a rotation angle sensor, comprising:
- a first sensor part equipped with a magnet having at least one indentation extending inwardly from an outer circumference of the magnet;
a second sensor part equipped with a magnetically sensitive element, the first sensor part and the second sensor part being configured to rotate in relation to each other in response to an actuating force; and
a plastic casing injection-molded at least partially around the magnet such that the plastic casing engages the at least one indentation to fixedly connect the plastic casing to the magnet and prevent rotation of the plastic casing relative to the magnet.

Abstract
In the case of an actuator having a rotation angle sensor with a magnet, no satisfying solution has yet been found for the attachment of the magnet. The invention relates to an actuator having a rotation angle sensor, the magnet of the rotation angle sensor being provided with a plastic cover. The plastic cover and magnet may be easily connected to a first sensor part of the rotation angle sensor of the actuator. The actuator with the rotation angle sensor can particularly be used in motor vehicles.
