Abstract
Included are: a sensor magnet which rotates integrally with a rotating shaft centering on the rotating shaft, and generates a magnetic field for angle detection which is for detecting the angle of rotation; a first sensor and a second sensor each of which is arranged opposite to the sensor magnet at a position separated in angle by 90 degrees on the circumference centered on the rotating shaft, and outputs a signal corresponding to the magnetic field for angle detection; and an angle calculator that calculates a rotation angle by using the signals from the first sensor and the second sensor.
