  • Angle detection system and method of manufacturing the same
    Patent number: 8669760
    Abstract: An angle detection system of the present invention includes: a stator 200 which includes a plurality of salient pole portions which are formed on a flat sheet made of a magnetic material and are raised by bending, each salient pole portion constituting a winding magnetic core on which a winding member for excitation and a winding member for detection are mounted; and a rotor 300 which is made of a magnetic material and is configured to be rotatable relative to the stator such that gap permeance between the rotor and each salient pole portion is changed due to the rotation thereof about a rotational axis thereof. According to the angle detection device of the present invention, it is possible to provide the angle detection device which can largely reduce the number of parts and can realize the reduction of cost and the enhancement of reliability.
