摘要： A torque detecting apparatus is provided which is capable of easily positioning a magnetic sensor in relation to a corresponding pair of magnetism collecting projections and thus improving the detection accuracy of the magnetic sensor without increasing the number of assembling and processing steps. A pair of magnetism collecting projections 60 and 60 of each magnetism collecting ring 6 are arranged to extend not in their respective radial directions but substantially in parallel to each other while two magnetic sensors 7 and 7 are mounted to a circuit board 70 and inserted along the direction of projection of the magnetism collecting projections 60 and 60 into the air gaps respectively between the two magnetism collecting projection 60 and 60 of one magnetism collecting ring 6 and the two magnetism collecting projection 60 and 60 of the other magnetism collecting ring 6.

摘要： In a torque detecting apparatus, in each of two flux concentrating rings, a portion along a circumferential direction is raised outward in a radial direction so that a flux concentrating section is provided that has a plate shape extending on one side in an axial direction. These flux concentrating rings are fixedly arranged such that the flux concentrating sections should oppose to each other in the circumferential direction with a predetermined gap in between. Leakage flux between opposing surfaces of the flux concentrating sections is detected by magnetic sensors aligned in an axial direction between these opposing surfaces. This improves the utilization of materials for the flux concentrating rings including the flux concentrating sections, and hence reduces the product cost.
