Abstract
A relative angle sensing device includes: a sensor contained in a housing provided with a communication hole and outputting an electric signal corresponding to a relative rotation angle between two rotary shafts coaxially arranged; an electric cable transmitting the electric signal to a device arranged outside of the housing; an electric cable holding member fitted with the communication hole and holding the electric cable; and an external member arranged at a location outer than the electric cable holding member, wherein the external member includes a pair of dividable members dividable in a direction intersecting a hole direction of the communication hole, and the external member passes the electric cable within the pair of dividable members and presses the electric cable with the pair of dividable members to change a direction of the electric cable at the outside of the housing into the direction intersecting the hole direction.
