Abstract

An electric hollow-shaft motor having a hollow shaft which is able to be driven in rotation, and a detection device which is configured to detect the rotational position of the hollow shaft, wherein the detection device includes a magnet which is arranged on the hollow shaft, and a fixed magnetic field sensor which is arranged within the hollow shaft, wherein the magnetic field sensor is configured to detect a magnetic field generated by the magnet.

Claims (22)

1. An electromotively operated hydraulic piston comprising:

an electric hollow-shaft motor comprising:

a first hollow shaft which is able to be driven in rotation;

a fixed second shaft having two hollow portions and at least partially disposed within the first hollow shaft, the second shaft forming a rotation preventor; and

a detection device configured to detect a rotational position of the first hollow shaft, wherein the detection device comprises:

a magnet disposed on an inner portion of the first hollow shaft and adjacent the second shaft, and

a fixed magnetic field sensor which is arranged on a wall of a first hollow portion of the second shaft, wherein the magnetic field sensor is configured to detect a magnetic field generated by the magnet;

a spindle which is arranged within a second hollow portion of the second shaft of the hollow-shaft motor; and

a spindle nut which is connected to the first hollow shaft of the hollow-shaft motor and which is configured to linearly displace the spindle along a longitudinal axis; and

wherein the rotation preventor is configured to prevent rotation of the spindle about the longitudinal axis.

2. The hydraulic piston as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the magnet has diametrical magnetization.

3. The hydraulic piston as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a measurement surface of the magnetic field sensor is oriented so as to be substantially coplanar with at least a portion of the magnetic field generated by the magnet.

4. The hydraulic piston as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one part of the first hollow shaft, or an annular element connected to the first hollow shaft, is formed as an outer magnetic return path for the magnet.

5. A brake system for a vehicle, comprising:

an electromotively operated hydraulic piston;

wherein the hydraulic piston is designed as claimed in claim 1 .

6. The hydraulic piston as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first hollow portion and the second hollow portion of the second shaft are linearly adjacent one another.

7. The hydraulic piston as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the spindle moves linearly within the second hollow portion of the second shaft.

8. The hydraulic piston as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least the wall of the second shaft comprises an amagnetic, fixed fastening part on which the magnetic field sensor is arranged.

9. The hydraulic piston as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the further magnet is an annular magnet.

10. The hydraulic piston as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the magnet is an annular magnet.

11. The hydraulic piston as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the magnet surrounds a sensing region, and wherein the magnetic field sensor is arranged within the sensing region.
