An encoder includes: a magnet rotatably supported; a control board including a magnetic field sensor that detects a magnetic field produced by the magnet and outputs a signal, and an arithmetic unit that detects rotation of the magnet on the basis of the output of the magnetic field sensor; a magnetic shielding cover made of a soft magnetic material; an encoder bracket used to fix the magnetic shielding cover; a protective cover fixed with being sandwiched between the magnetic shielding cover and the encoder bracket to cover the magnet and the control board to prevent entry of foreign substances; and a sealing member sandwiched between the protective cover and the encoder bracket. The magnetic shielding cover covers the magnet, the control board, and the protective cover, and the sealing member is compressed between the encoder bracket and the protective cover.
