Abstract
A torque-angle sensor is mounted on a steering column with a system casing and configured to detect a steering torque and angle of steering wheel steering of a vehicle. The torque-angle sensor includes a top cover, a torque sensing unit, an angle sensing unit, a PCB, a signal output terminal, and a sensor casing. The top cover includes a body, a first fitting part, and second fitting part. The first fitting part is a flange extending from the body towards the sensor casing, and fitted to the sensor casing. The second fitting part is a flange extending in a radial direction and/or axial direction of the body, and fitted to the system casing. In a radial direction of the body, a distance between the second fitting part and a center of the body is greater than a distance between the first fitting part and the center of the body.
