Abstract

This invention relates to a rotation sensor which detects the magnetic field which changes with the rotation of a rotary shaft, thereby to detect the amount of rotation of the rotary shaft. The rotation sensor of the present invention has the boundaries between magnetized regions set with high precision. The boundaries forms magnetic fields stably, whereby the detection of rotation is performed with high accuracy.
