摘要:
A magnetostrictive torque sensor includes first and second magnetostrictive films which are provided at a shaft and have different magnetic anisotropies; a first measurement coil and a second measurement coil which face the first magnetostrictive film; and a third measurement coil and a fourth measurement coil which face the second magnetostrictive film. A torque applied to the shaft is measured based on a variation in magnetic characteristics of the first and the second magnetostrictive films; and a failure of the magnetostrictive torque sensor is detected based on a first difference between output values from the first and the second measurement coils and a second difference between output values from the third and the fourth measurement coils. An electric steering system includes the magnetostrictive torque sensor for measuring a steering torque of the system; and an electric motor driven based on the measured magnetostrictive torque for steering the vehicle.

A rotational torque detection mechanism is provided, which includes a rotational shaft whose first end portion reaches outside the mechanism, a magnetostrictive membrane which is disposed on a surface of the rotational shaft and varies its magnetic permeability according to an amount and direction of rotational torque acting on the rotational shaft, an excitation circuit which is disposed to confront the rotational shaft so as to excite the magnetostrictive membrane and a detection circuit which is disposed to confront the rotational shaft so as to electrically detect a change of the magnetic permeability of the magnetostrictive membrane. In the rotational detection mechanism, the first end portion is adapted to be a free end and a second end portion of the rotational shaft is rotatably supported.
