ている。On the other hand, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 64-21255 discloses that detection portions having shape magnetic anisotropy are formed in two portions spaced apart in the axial direction of the input shaft of an automatic transmission. A torque detection device is described in which detection coils for detecting each detected portion are fixed to a fixing member on the outer peripheral side of an input shaft, and the shaft torque of the input shaft is detected based on the output from the rain detection coil.

常に難しいという問題がある。In the above-mentioned conventional and published torque detection devices, when forming the detected part on the outer peripheral surface of the power transmission shaft, it is very difficult to precisely form a pair of separated detected parts without phase error. The problem is that it is difficult.

難しいこと、などの問題がある。When assembling a pair of sensors, it is necessary to assemble the pair of sensors with high precision because a phase error causes an error in the detected torque. It is extremely difficult to assemble the sensors with high precision to separate parts of the fixed member, and in the case of automatic transmissions, the fixed member only exists in a very limited area on the outer circumference of the power transmission shaft. Therefore, it is not possible to set a large distance apart in the axial direction between the pair of sensors, and there are problems such as that it is difficult to improve the detection accuracy of the shaft torque.

取付は位置に経年変化による位置ズレが発生する。In systems such as automatic transmissions 1 of automobiles, where a wide range of torque is applied intermittently over a long period of time, fatigue accumulates on the turbine shaft 3, resulting in residual torsion even in no-load conditions, or distortion during driving. Due to vibrations, the mounting positions of the magnetic heads 46 and 47 will shift due to aging.

The shaft torque of the turbine shaft 3 can be calculated with high accuracy without being influenced.

単に形成することが出来る。The magnetic recording layers 43 and 44 are formed by thermally spraying a magnetic material onto aluminum alloy members in order to improve their magnetic properties. Since the magnetic material can be thermally sprayed and the cylindrical members 40 and 41 are much smaller and lighter than the turbine shaft 3, the magnetic recording layers 43 and 44 can be easily formed.
