Abstract
[Object] To provide a torque sensor and power control actuator that are reduced in size and are capable of detecting torque with high accuracy. [Solution] The torque sensor includes: a first rotating body capable of making axial rotation about an input axis; a second rotating body capable of making axial rotation about an output axis; a strain generation part provided between the first rotating body and the second rotating body, having a first surface facing one side in a first direction parallel to the input axis and a second surface facing the other side in the first direction, and configured to transfer rotation torque while generating a strain between the first rotating body and the second rotating body; and a plurality of strain detection parts provided on the first surface and the second surface, respectively, to detect a strain of the strain generation part.
