Device for determining the steering angle of a steering wheel and steering column equipped module

The invention relates to a device for determining the steering angle of a steering wheel with a code carrier and at least one scanning device for scanning a provided on the code carrier code, said code carrier and the scanning device are twisted at a change of the steering angle relative to one another and the sensing device produces an output signal, from is determined the steering angle. The scanning device is rotatable relative to the stationary code carrier and rotationally fixed to the steering wheel or the steering column coupled. Moreover, the invention relates to a equipped with the inventive apparatus for determining the steering angle of a steering wheel steering column module for motor vehicles.
