Abstract:
A rotation angle sensor includes a magnet that rotates about a rotation axis. The magnet has an end face perpendicular to the rotation axis and has a magnetization in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis. The rotation angle sensor further includes a magnetic sensor that faces the end face of the magnet and detects a magnetic field produced by the magnet. The magnet includes a plate-shaped portion including the end face, and a ring-shaped portion that is located on a side of the plate-shaped portion farther from the end face and coupled to the plate-shaped portion. The plate-shaped portion does not include any hollow through which the rotation axis passes, whereas the ring-shaped portion includes a hollow through which the rotation axis passes.
