- Encoder 13 extends along the whole circumference of axis X10, with N pole 14 and S pole 15 disposed oppositely around axis X10.
- encoder 13 comprises a higher number of pairs of poles, for example sixty-four pairs of poles 14 and 15.

- an arctangent function applied to a division of sine signal S32 by cosine signal C31 corresponds to a rotation angle ⁇ of rotating part 12 relative to stationary part 1 1 of mechanical device 10.
- detection cells 21 -25 of sensor 2 and at least the first part 31 and second part 32 of the electronic circuit 3 are located together in a housing of the sensor device 2+3.
- sensor device 2+3 is compact and simple to mount on mechanical device 10.
- control means 4 may be included in the same housing.

- Device 41 may be a potentiometer associated with at least one of the resistors R64 and/or R73 and adapted to selectively modify the variable parameter(s) P64 and/or P73 of this resistor(s).

- Graphs of figures 5 to 9 depict the operating principle of the invention.
- shift angle 9s corresponding to signals C31 and S32 is represented in degrees on the abscissa axis, while resistance values in kiloOhm (kQ) are represented on the ordinate axis. More precisely, the ordinate axis of figures 5 and 6 correspond to resistance values of primary resistors R61 -R65 of cosine part 31 , while the ordinate axis of figure 7 corresponds to resistance values of primary resistors R71 -R75 of sine part 32.
- shifting is simulated on the basis on modified design of cosine part 31 within electronic circuit 3. More precisely, for each value of shift angle 9s on a shift interval extending from 0 to 360 degrees, the corresponding resistance values primary resistors R61 -R65 of cosine part 31 are determined. In standard design, used shift angle 9s is 45 degrees since this gives the same coefficients and thus resistance values for cosine part 31 and sine part 32. According to simulation, shift angle 9s extends from 0 to 360 degrees to cover the entire shift interval. Respective resistance values of secondary resistors R66, R67 and R68 are fixed, by example 2.05 kQ for resistor R66 and 4.12 kQ for both resistors R67 and R68. Then, respective resistance values of primary resistors R61 to R65 are modified. Each 36 degrees a peak appears where the value of a corresponding primary resistor R61 to R65 becomes infinite.
- simulation may be applied simultaneously to cosine part 31 and sine part 32.
- a shift interval has to be chosen such that there are no peaks in the varying resistance values, for both cosine part 31 and sine part 32. Indeed, peaks are highly nonlinear and a variable resistor having such a profile is hard or impossible to find. Since there are two signals C31 and S32, the maximum possible angle shift interval is thus 18 degrees.
- respective resistance values of resistors R61 , R62, R63, R64, R71 , R72, R74 and R75 are 7.3 kQ, 32.4 kQ, 5.32 kQ, 1 1 .3 kQ, 7.32 kQ, 1 1 .3 kQ, 32.4 kQ and 5.76 kQ.
- parameters P64 and P73 change significantly and in a reversed way.
- control means 4 are adapted to modify the two variable parameters P64 and P73 simultaneously in a reversed way.
- intended angle shift 9i corresponding to signals C31 and S32 is represented on the abscissa axis, while realized angle shift Or is represented on the ordinate axis, each in degrees.
- the bold curve corresponds to a variation of all primary resistance values, as shown on figure 5. This bold curve is not completely straight because cosine part 31 and sine part 32 each comprise a limited number of resistors, but an ideal shift of signals C31 and S32 is almost accomplished.
- the thin curve corresponds to a variation of parameters P64 and P73 while other primary resistance values remain fixed.
- the output signals C31 and S32 shift with a certain angle Or, but not exactly the ideal shift angle ⁇ .
- a variation of only two variable parameters P64 and P73 thanks to control means 4 is far easier to realize than a variation of all resistance values. Beside, the result is fully satisfactory in the acceptable error range.
- intended angle shift 0i is represented on the abscissa axis
- angle shift error ⁇ is represented on the ordinate axis, each in degrees.
- the angle shift error ⁇ corresponds to the difference, in absolute value, between intended angle shift 0i and realized angle shift Or shown on figure 8.
- the bold curve corresponds to variation of all primary resistance values, with a maximum error ⁇ of 0,34 degrees.
- the thin curve corresponds to variation of parameters P64 and P73, with a maximum error ⁇ of 0,62 degrees, which is acceptable.
- a maximum realizable shift Omax of approximately 7 degrees can be obtained in a simple manner thanks to system 1 .
- this value of 7 degrees is related to the practical maximum resistance values P64 and P73, considering that the ideal resistance values would become infinite.
- System 1 is not compulsorily connected to an electronic control unit (ECU). Even if system 1 is connected to such an ECU, shifting of analogical output signal(s) C31 and/or S32 may be accomplished by controls means 4 of system 1 , without complex operations of the ECU.
- sensor 2 may include three or even two detection cells, depending on the accuracy and response time required for sensor device 2+3.

- Other constitutive elements of system 1 including sine part 132 or 232 are not shown on figures 10 and 1 1 for simplification purpose.
