Abstract

A rotation detection device includes a detected member being mounted to a rotating member and being configured to rotate integrally with the rotating member, and a sensor section being arranged to face the detected member, in which the sensor section includes two magnetic sensors, each of which includes a detection section having a magnetism detection element for detecting a magnetic field from the detected member, the two detection sections of the two magnetic sensors being arranged side-by side along a rotational axis line direction, and a housing portion comprising a resin mold provided to collectively cover the two magnetic sensors and having a facing surface facing the detected member. The two detection sections of the two magnetic sensors are separated each other. A minimum distance between the two detection sections of the two magnetic sensors is 0.05 mm or more and 2.00 mm or less. The resin mold enters into a space between the two detection sections of the two magnetic sensors.

Claims (17)

1. A rotation detection device, comprising:

a detected member being mounted to a rotating member and being configured to rotate integrally with the rotating member; and

a sensor section being arranged to face the detected member,

wherein the sensor section comprises two magnetic sensors comprising a first magnetic sensor including a first detection section and a second magnetic sensor including a second detection section, each of the first detection section and the second detection section comprising a magnetism detection element for detecting a magnetic field from the detected member, and a housing portion comprising a resin mold provided to collectively cover the two magnetic sensors and having a facing surface facing the detected member,

wherein the first and second detection sections of the two magnetic sensors are separated from each other,

wherein a minimum distance between the first and second detection sections of the two magnetic sensors is 0.05 mm or more and 2.00 mm or less,

wherein the resin mold enters into a space between the first and second detection sections of the two magnetic sensors,

wherein the first detection section and the second detection section are arranged side-by-side along a rotational axis line direction of the rotating member, and

wherein the first detection section is tilted with respect to the second detection section.

2. The rotation detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the minimum distance between the first and second detection sections of the two magnetic sensors is 0.10 mm or more and 1.00 mm or less.

3. The rotation detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the first detection section of the first magnetic sensor, which is closer to the detected member than the second magnetic sensor, is tilted with respect to the facing surface,

wherein the first detection section is tilted with respect to the facing surface in such a manner that the first detection section being closer to the detected member as being closer to a tip portion of the housing.

4. The rotation detection device according to claim 3 , wherein the second detection section of the second magnetic sensor is arranged parallel to the facing surface.

5. The rotation detection device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a holding member being covered collectively with the two magnetic sensors by the housing portion, being configured to maintain a separation state of the first and second detection sections of the two magnetic sensors, and being arranged between the first and second detection sections of the two magnetic sensors.

6. The rotation detection device according to claim 5 , wherein a width of the holding member is narrower than widths of the first and second detection sections of the two magnetic sensors.

7. The rotation detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the second detection section of the second magnetic sensor is arranged parallel to the facing surface.
