Abstract
A magnetic detection device has: a magnetic moving body which rotates about a rotating shaft and in which N-poles and S-poles are disposed alternately on an outer periphery thereof; magnetoresistive elements that are disposed at a spacing from the outer peripheral surface of the magnetic moving body; a signal processing unit that processes signals from the magnetoresistive elements; and a magnet that applies a bias magnetic field to the magnetoresistive elements. The magnetization direction of the magnet is parallel to the rotating shaft of the magnetic moving body. The magnetoresistive elements are disposed in a plane perpendicular to the magnetization direction of the magnet, and are disposed at a fixed spacing in the radial direction of the magnetic moving body.
