Abstract

To suppress deterioration in the detection accuracy of a rotation angle of a magnet even when a member located in the vicinity of the magnet is made of a magnetic material. An absolute encoder includes a first sub-shaft gear configured to rotate based on rotation of a main shaft, a bearing part configured to rotatably support the first sub-shaft gear around an axial line A, a support shaft configured to support the bearing part, and a spacer provided between the first sub-shaft gear and the bearing part. At least a part of the spacer is formed of a magnetic material, and the spacer is formed extending in a direction intersecting the axial line A.
