Abstract

A rotary encoder comprises a rotator having ring-shaped multipole magnet and stator having magnetic field detecting sensors concentrically provided with the ring-shaped multipole magnet. The stator is provided with a plurality of zero-magnetostrictive amorphous ferromagnetic cores arrayed in correspondence to the magnetic pole pitch of the multipole magnet. Rotation angles of the rotor are detected by coils extended across the plurality of amorphous magnetic cores to be magnetically coupled with the same.
