Abstract
A torque detecting apparatus is provided which is capable of easily positioning a magnetic sensor in relation to a corresponding pair of magnetism collecting projections and thus improving the detection accuracy of the magnetic sensor without increasing the number of assembling and processing steps. A pair of magnetism collecting projectionsandof each magnetism collecting ringare arranged to extend not in their respective radial directions but substantially in parallel to each other while two magnetic sensorsandare mounted to a circuit boardand inserted along the direction of projection of the magnetism collecting projectionsandinto the air gaps respectively between the two magnetism collecting projectionandof one magnetism collecting ringand the two magnetism collecting projectionandof the other magnetism collecting ring
