Abstract
There is provided a torque detector configured such that a magnetic shield is fixed to a holder without the need for a component for fixation of the magnetic shield, and no backlash is caused between the magnetic shield and the holder after the magnetic shield is fixed to the holder. The torque detector has engagement grooves into which a magnetic shield is to be inserted when the magnetic shield is fitted onto outer peripheral surfaces of a first holder and a second holder. The magnetic shield has end portions to be inserted into the engagement grooves, and each of the end portions is provided with engaging members that are always engaged with inner surfaces of the engagement grooves, respectively, while being inserted into the engagement grooves, to restrict movement of the end portions in the counter-insertion direction.
