Abstract
An angular displacement detecting device which is provided with a tubular casing having a chamber in which a liquid is sealed, a floating body having a magnetic characteristic, the floating body being disposed in the liquid sealed in the chamber and being supported for rotation about a predetermined rotational axis, a magnetism generating member for cooperating with the floating body to constitute a magnetic circuit, and a detector for detecting a relative rotation about the rotational axis between the floating body and the tubular casing. The floating body is formed of either a material in which a magnetic material powder with a particle size of 10 .mu.m or less is dispersedly mixed with a thermoplastic, high polymeric organic material or a material in which a magnetic material powder whose particles are coated with a silane or titanium coupling agent is mixed with a thermoplastic, high polymeric organic material.
