Abstract
A rotational angle detecting device may include a flat face part formed on a detected object, and a permanent magnet having a magnetic pole face facing the flat face part. The device may also include a pair of first yokes arranged in line symmetry along a magnetization direction and project in parallel with a rotational axis of the detected object from the permanent magnet, and a second yoke spaced from projecting ends of the first yokes to face a face of the permanent magnet, the first yokes projecting from the face. The device may further include a magnetic detection element having a magnetic sensitive part positioned in a detection point corresponding to each of the first yokes, and may be configured to detect magnetic flux densities in directions parallel with the rotational axis and a magnetic flux density in a direction perpendicular to the rotational axis and the reference line.
