Abstract
In a torque sensor (), a sleeve () is an annular member mounted on a first rotating member. An intermediate member () is an annular member placed on an outer circumferential face of the sleeve (). A magnet () is an annular member placed on an outer circumferential face of the intermediate member (). A yoke () is mounted on a second rotating member and faces the magnet () in a radial direction. A rotating member connecting part () of the sleeve () is cylindrical and is in contact with the first rotating member. An intermediate member connecting part () is at a position shifted with respect to the rotating member connecting part () in an axial direction parallel to a central axis Z. An outer diameter (E) of a sleeve end (), which is an end of the intermediate member connecting part () opposite from the rotating member connecting part (), is smaller than a minimum inner diameter () of the magnet ().
