Abstract
A steering shaft 10 is constructed by an input shaft 11, an intermediate shaft 13 connected to the input shaft 11 through a first torsion bar 12 and an output shaft 15 connected to the intermediate shaft 13 through a second torsion bar 14, and around the input shaft 11, there is provided a first resolver 51 for detecting a rotation angle of the input shaft 11 and around the intermediate shaft 13, there is provided a second resolver 52 for detecting a rotation angle of the intermediate shaft 13, and the first and second resolvers 51 and 52 are arranged to constitute a torque sensor TS that detects a steering torque.
