    Abstract: A preload detectable screw device is provided which can detect preload with accuracy and can reduce the influence of generated heat on the output of a sensor. A screw device (1) includes a screw shaft (2), a nut member (3), a plurality of rolling elements (7, 8), at least one axial strain sensor (24) (B, D) that is attached to a surface of the nut member (3) and detects strain in an axial direction on the nut member (3), and at least one circumferential strain sensor (24) (A, C) that is attached to the surface of the nut member (3) and detects strain in a circumferential direction on the nut member (3). Preload of the screw device (1) is detected on the basis of outputs of the axial strain sensor (24) (B, D) and the circumferential strain sensor (24) (A, C).

    Abstract: Provided is an encoder device capable of reducing interference between a magnetic field generated in a reference mark and a magnetic field generated in a scale. An encoder device is provided with a reference mark and a head. The reference mark has: a first scale coil; and a second scale coil electrically connected to the first scale coil. The head has: a transmission coil that transmits an electromagnetic wave without any contact to the first scale coil; a reception coil that receives an electromagnetic wave without any contact from the second scale coil; and electric circuits that generate a pulse for generating an origin signal from the electromagnetic wave received by the reception coil, if the transmission coil faces the first scale coil and the reception coil faces the second scale coil.
