Abstract
A rotation detector (,) includes a first transmitting element (,) and a second transmitting element (,) each disposed opposite a gear rotor (,) attached to a rotating body as a detected member. A signal processing device (,) is connected to the first transmitting element and the second transmitting element for generating pulse signals based on rotation signals generated by the first transmitting element and the second transmitting element. The rotation detector is characterized in that the signal processing device generates the pulse signals with different pulse widths to distinguish between the case where the first transmitting element generates the rotation signal prior to the first transmitting element and the case where the second transmitting element generates the rotation signal prior to the first transmitting element.
