Zusammenfassung:A rotational angle sensor for determining an angular position of a reference component with respect to an axial direction includes a magnet retaining component having a magnet. The magnet retaining component is connectable to the reference component via an interference-fit connection so as to rotate with the reference component while being axially displaceable relative to the reference component. The rotational angle sensor also includes a sensor attached to the reference component such that it can rotate with respect to the reference component, and the sensor is configured to detect a magnetic field generated by the magnet. Also included is a spring element configured to exert an axial force on the magnet retaining component so that an axial spacing between the sensor and the magnet assumes a predetermined value.
