Abstract
A torque sensor for sensing the torque applied to a first shaft has a multipolar magnet rotated therewith and is connected to a second shaft via a torsion bar. The torque sensor includes a pair of magnetic yokes adapted to be disposed in a magnetic field of the multipolar magnet and adapted to be rotated together with the second shaft. A magnetic detection element has a detection surface and is capable of detecting a magnetic flux in a direction parallel to the detection surface.
