Relative angle sensing device
A relative angle sensing device that senses a relative rotation angle between first and second rotary shafts includes: a rotary component that is provided on one rotary shaft out of the first rotary shaft and the second rotary shaft, and that rotates together with the one rotary shaft; a supported component that generates a magnetic field and that is supported by the rotary component through an adhesive material; and a sensor that is provided in the other rotary shaft out of the first rotary shaft and the second rotary shaft, and that outputs a value corresponding to the magnetic field generated by the supported component. A transmitting unit is provided between the rotary component and the supported component. The transmitting unit transmits rotative force of the one rotary shaft to the supported component by direct contact with each other in a case of peeling of the adhesive material.

a rotary component that is provided on one rotary shaft out of the first rotary shaft and the second rotary shaft, and that rotates together with the one rotary shaft;
a supported component that generates a magnetic field and that is supported by the rotary component through an adhesive material; and
a sensor that is provided in the other rotary shaft out of the first rotary shaft and the second rotary shaft, and that outputs a value corresponding to the magnetic field generated by the supported component, wherein
a convex part is provided in any one of the rotary component and the supported component and a concave part is provided in the other one of the rotary component and the supported component, and
the supported component is supported by the rotary component through the adhesive material in a state where the convex part and the concave part are fitted with each other, and the rotative force of the one rotary shaft is transmitted by direct contact between the convex part and the concave part in the case of peeling of the adhesive material.
2. The relative angle sensing device according to claim 1 , wherein a length of the convex part or the concave part provided in the supported component in a shaft direction of the one rotary shaft is not less than length obtained by adding, to contact length between the convex part and the concave part sufficient to transmit the rotative force of the one rotary shaft to the supported component, length between an end part of the supported component on the other rotary shaft side and the other rotary shaft on which the supported component is placed as a result of falling down in the case of peeling of the adhesive material and/or a component that rotates together with the other rotary shaft in a state where the supported component is supported by the rotary component through the adhesive material.
