However, in the conventional mounting structure of such a detector, the amount of displacement is transmitted through the meshing of gears, so (i) since the gear originally has a back gap, the back gap is This causes an error in the amount of displacement that should be transmitted. (ii) If the parallelism between the axis of the shaft 2 and the axis of the input shaft 6 is not assembled with sufficient accuracy, gear meshing failure will occur, which in turn will reduce the accuracy of the detected value. Moreover, in severe cases, there were problems such as damage to the detector.

The amount of displacement of the rotating shaft (not shown) of the rotating device main body 1 is transmitted to the detector 11 via the shaft 2 and the input shaft 10 coaxially fixed to the shaft, and is sent as a signal to a control section (not shown). It will be done.

Further, when the input shaft 10 rotates in accordance with the above displacement amount, the plate 12 in the detector 11 that fixes the detector 11 by, for example, sliding friction, etc. tries to rotate, but the plate 12 in the detector 11 tries to rotate. Engaged locking pin 13
Rotation is hindered because of this. However, the notch 14
is formed larger than the diameter of the locking pin 13, so there is a gap between the notch 14 and the locking pin 13, but the locking pin 13 is always in contact with one side of the notch 14. Since the tension spring 16 installed between the pin 15 and the pin 15 acts in the tension direction, the plate 12 does not move even when the input shaft 10 rotates. In other words, the tension spring 16 is formed with a spring constant that does not affect the detected value due to the rotational force generated in the detector 11, so that it can follow normal movements, and can also handle sudden movements of the rotation axis. Even in the event of an abnormality due to sudden fluctuations or galling of the sliding friction portion, the tension spring 16 provides a buffer, so that measurements can be made without damaging the detector 11.

Therefore, the presence of the compression spring 21 prevents excessive load from being applied to the input shaft 10.
