Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, there is a problem that the synthetic resin used in the first molding cannot guarantee the mechanical adhesion to the circuit board, and if it is heated several times and stretched repeatedly, the synthetic resin will peel off from the circuit board, etc., such as figure 2 As shown, a gap 30 is produced between the synthetic resin and the circuit board 19
[0010] In addition, in the above-mentioned torque sensor, wiring and connector parts for connecting to the control unit of the electric power steering device are required, and there is a problem that the cost of parts increases and the number of parts increases.

Abstract

The invention provides torque detecting apparatus and electric power steering apparatus. The torque detecting apparatus comprises a first shaft and a second shaft connected coaxially to each other through a connecting shaft, a permanent magnet fixed to the first shaft, a plurality of soft magnetic members having a collar provided therein, fitted by pressing with the second shaft and disposed in a magnetic field of the permanent magnet to form a magnetic circuit, and a detector for detecting magnetic flux generated from the soft magnetic members, wherein the soft magnetic members are integrally molded with a mold body made of synthetic resin, and when a torque is applied to the first shaft or the second shaft, the torque is detected based on an output of the detector. The collar is made of a non-magnetic material.
