First magnetic angular sensor outputs a sine-wave output and a cosine-wave output corresponding to positions of rotation of a rotary drum being fitted in a rotating drive shaft. Second magnetic angular sensor outputs a sine-wave output and a cosine-wave output corresponding to positions of rotation of another rotary drum being fitted on the rotating drive shaft. In case of the other output of the sine-wave output or the cosine-wave output of the first or the second magnetic angular sensor is varied while one output of the sine-wave output or the cosine-wave output in the first or the second magnetic angular sensor is not varied, the one output cosine-wave output or the sine-wave output of the first or the second magnetic angular sensor is determined to be a fault and an abnormality signal is delivered therefrom. The electric driven power steering apparatus having an assist torque means employed the magnetic angular sensor structure can be prevented in advance from the accident and high reliability thereor can be obtained.

An apparatus for magnetically detecting a positional relation between first and second members the positions of which change relative to each other comprises a magnetic recording medium carried on the first member and a magnetic sensor substrate supported by the second member. Two or more tracks each including a multiplicity of magnetic poles arranged at a predetermined pitch are provided on the magnetic recording medium, corresponding to the respective phases of two or more detection signals to be detected by the apparatus and in a direction in which the positional relation between the first and second members changes. The magnetic poles in any one of the tracks are shifted with respect to the magnetic poles in the other track by an amount corresponding to a phase difference between the detection signal for the phase which corresponds to the one track and the detection signal for the phase which corresponds to the other track. The magnetic sensor substrate includes a plurality of magnetoresistive elements which are respectively provided corresponding to the tracks and the electrical resistance value of each of which changes in response to a magnetic field originating from the corresponding track. The magnetoresistive elements are combined to generate electric signals as the detection signals. Each of the magnetoresistive elements corresponding to any one of the tracks and the corresponding one of the magnetoresistive elements corresponding to the other track are placed at the same position when viewed in the direction in which the positional relation between the first and second members changes.

A crank angle sensor comprises a magnetic recording medium rotating synchronously with crankshaft on which data is magnetically recorded and a magnetic sensor spaced apart from the magnetic medium and detecting the signals to produce rotational angle information. The magnetic recording medium is divided into plural tracks including an angle track and a cylinder track. On the angle track, unitary magnetic poles, serving as the magnetically recorded data are provided with a pitch P corresponding to the angle to be detected. The cylinder track contains unitary magnetic poles arranged adjacent those with a angle track in the pitch P and at locations which are determined by the number of cylinders of the engine. The polarities of the unitary magnetic poles on the cylinder track are the in same arrangement as those of the unitary magnetic poles of the angle track. No magnetic interference occurs between the unitary magnetic poles of the angle track and three of the cylinder track, so that angle signals and cylinder signals can be obtained with high accuracy.

Magnetic poles are provided continuously with a pitch .lambda. on the peripheral portion of a drum rotated in accordance with a movement of a moving body. A magnetic sensor is provided in opposition to these poles. The sensor is formed of two magnetoresistive element pairs which are spaced from each other at .lambda./6, and the two elements in each pair are arranged in positions spaced from each other at .lambda./2. The two elements in each pair are connected in series to form a bridge circuit. The signals obtained from the nodes of the series-connected elements in the two element pairs are differentially amplified so that third harmonic wave components are eliminated, and a signal having no distortion and representative of the position or speed of the moving body can be obtained.

A device for detecting a load torque using angle detectors fitted with a certain spacing on a shaft which is rotated by a drive source and on the basis of a relative angular difference of angles detected by the angle detectors. The device includes two rotary drums or discs fitted with a certain spacing on the drive side and load side of the shaft, with a plurality of magnetic poles for generating magnetic signals being formed on the surface thereof, and a magnetic sensor disposed to confront the surface of the rotary drums or discs, with magnetic resistance effect elements which vary in internal resistance in response to the magnetism of the magnetic poles being provided thereon. The amount of torsion created by the load on the load side of the rotary shaft is measured as a phase difference of outputs of the magnetic sensor, and the torque is detected in terms of the angular difference between the magnetic drums or discs. The device is operative to detect a torque in both storage and rotation, and capable of detection within a period of magnetic signal, whereby high-accuracy, high-resolution torque detection is made possible.

A magnetic position detector having a rotary magnetic recording medium which is movable with a movable body the position of which is to be detected. The rotary magnetic recording medium is divided into plural channels, each of which includes two tracks. A magnetic sensor is disposed to face the magnetic recording medium with a predetermined air gap therebetween and includes two sets of magnetoresistive elements spaced by a predetermined distance for each channel. Each set of magnetoresistive elements includes two elements wherein the first elements of the two sets face one of the tracks of a channel and the second elements of the other of the two sets faces the other track and the first and second elements of the two sets are formed as one body with adjacent ends of the first and second elements being coupled with each other. The coupled adjacent ends are connected to either one of first terminals for deriving output voltages from the magnetoresistive elements or to second terminals for supplying the magnetoresistive elements with source voltage. The non-adjacent ends of the first and second elements which are opposite to the coupled ends are connected to the other of the first and second terminals. In this manner, the sensor can be made small in size and the resistivity against noise is enhanced.
