Abstract
A torque detector is provided with movable magnetic elements each comprising: an element body, which deforms elastically in response to relative shear displacement between the surfaces of an upper shaft and a lower shaft; and soft ferromagnetic wings, which are supported by the element body and change their inclination relative to the axial direction due to the elastic deformation of the element body, the inclination of the wings being detected by coils.
