In order to ensure an optimal position of a magnet (3) in relation to a Hall IC (2) or, respectively, its Hall effect elements (4, 5), the magnet (3) and the Hall IC (2) are displaceable in relation to one another and, namely, in the direction of the lateral distance of the two Hall effect elements (4, 5). It is preferred that the Hall IC (2) is retained stationarily in the rotational speed sensor, and the magnet (3) is retained so as to be displaceable and lockable in position, in particular in a base member (10) of the sensor housing. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A rotational speed sensor, in particular, a gear wheel sensor, comprising: a magnet and two Hall effect elements cooperating therewith, each Hall effect element arranged along an axis in a laterally spaced relationship one to the other, said magnet producing a magnetic field; means for displacing said magnet only in a direction that is parallel to said axis and relative to said Hall effect elements, wherein a displacement of said magnet compensates for incorrect function of said Hall effect elements caused by nonuniformities in said magnetic field, wherein said Hall effect elements are rigidly mounted in the rotational speed sensor, and said magnet is supported so as to be slidable relative to said Hall effect elements, wherein said magnet is secured in a holding fixture, and the holding fixture is supported and is slidable in a housing of the rotational speed sensor, wherein said holding fixture includes longitudinal guidance which is provided in the type of a groove-and-tongue joint, said tongue arranged on the holding fixture of the magnet.
2.
A rotational speed sensor as claimed in claim 1, wherein said Hall effect elements are rigidly mounted in the rotational speed sensor, and said magnet is supported so as to be slidable relative to said Hall effect elements.
3.
A rotational speed sensor as claimed in claim 2, wherein said magnet is secured in a holding fixture, and the holding fixture is supported so as to be slidable in a housing of the rotational speed sensor.
4.
A rotational speed sensor as claimed in claim 3, wherein said holding fixture includes longitudinal guidance which is provided in the type of a groove-and-tongue joint, the tongue being preferably arranged on the holding fixture of the magnet.
5.
A rotational speed sensor as claimed in claim 3, wherein said magnet holding fixture is adapted to being fixed relative to said Hall effect elements.
Description:
The present invention relates to a rotational speed sensor, in particular a gear wheel sensor, including a magnet and two Hall effect elements cooperating therewith and arranged in laterally spaced relationship one to the other, wherein a component part made of ferromagnetic material, in particular a gear wheel, which has an irregular periphery or a periphery with points of discontinuity, and the angle of rotation or rotational speed of which is to be determined, is movable past the Hall effect elements in the direction of the lateral distance
