  • Patent number: 11325643
    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus for detecting a steering angle, a steering system, and a torque sensing method of the steering system. The apparatus includes a rotor formed in a cylindrical shape having a central region, in which a space for housing a rotary shaft is formed, and configured to have a plurality of permanent magnets of different polarities alternately disposed at regular intervals in a circumferential direction, a stator body formed in a cylindrical shape having a space for housing the rotor, and two stator rings formed in ring shapes coupled to the stator body and disposed at a certain distance in a longitudinal direction of the rotary shaft. Accordingly, it is possible to calculate an accurate torque, and a response rate is increased so that stability and performance of the steering system can be improved.
