Abstract: An engine throttle device (1) including a throttle valve (5) supported by a throttle shaft (4) inside a throttle bore (2a, 3a) of a valve body (2, 3) and driven to open and close, and a throttle sensor (11) including an excitation conductor provided at one end of the throttle shaft (4) , and a substrate (15) provided with an exciting conductor (13) and a signal detection conductor (14) to face the excitation conductor includes: an excitation conductor unit (12) including an excitation conductor portion (12a) functioning as the excitation conductor, a sensor-side screw portion (12d) provided on a shaft line of the excitation conductor portion (12a), and a sensor-side abutting surface (12e) surrounding the sensor-side screw portion (12d), the excitation conductor unit (12) being integrally formed of a metal material; a shaft-side screw portion (17) formed at one end (4a) of the throttle shaft (4) and screwed to the sensor-side screw portion (12d); and a shaft--side abutting surface (18) formed at the one end (4

Abstract: Provided is an electronically controlled throttle device for an engine driving to open and close a throttle valve (8) of a valve body (3) to which rotation of a motor (15) is transmitted from a driven gear (14) via a throttle shaft (6), and disposing a substrate (22) on which an excitation conductor (23) and a signal detection conductor (24) are arranged to face an exciting conductor (21) rotating together with the throttle shaft (6). The driven gear (14) comprises an embedded core metal (25), and has one side surface to which an exciting conductor (21) is exposed, the core metal (25) and the exciting conductor (21) being insert-Molded of a synthetic resin material and prepared, and a caulked portion (6a) of the throttle shaft (6) is inserted and fixed into a shaft hole (25a) extending through the core metal (25).

Abstract: A rotational position sensor includes a rotating body rotatably supported around a predetermined axis line by a bearing portion of a housing and a sensor unit having a movable sensor element arranged at the rotating body to detect a rotational angle position of the rotating body and a fixed sensor element arranged at the housing. The rotating body includes a tapered annular contact face defining a part of a virtual cone face with a vertex on the axis line and the bearing portion includes a tapered annular bearing face rotatably supporting the annular contact face on the virtual cone face. Accordingly, the rotating body is consistently located on the axis line due to an automatic alignment effect. Therefore, the rotational angle position of the rotating body can be detected with high accuracy even with occurrence of aging variation such as wearing at a bearing area.
