Abstract
A light, compact angle-of-rotation sensor is provided that is comprised of a magnetic ring bonded to a shaft by means of resin. The magnetic ring is provided around its periphery with a number of magnetized zones, with each such magnetized zone having a different number of magnetic poles, and magnetic interference between magnetized zones is prevented by leaving non-magnetized spaces between the magnetized zones. The prevention of magnetic interference can be further enhanced by the provision of non-magnetized portions between the magnetic poles of the magnetized zones.
