A rotation angle detector includes: a magnet attached to a rotating shaft and magnetized in a certain direction orthogonal to an axis of the rotating shaft; and a non-rotary magneto-electric transducer placed to be opposed to an end surface of the magnet, and configured to detect a rotation angle of the rotating shaft in cooperation with the magnet through magneto-electric transduction. A concave curved surface is formed in the end surface of the magnet in order to make a magnetic flux of a magnetic field facing the end surface of the magnet closer to the magnet and flattened. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a rotation angle detector which is compact in size and has a stable accuracy for detecting the rotation angle, by making the curvature of the magnetic flux near the end surface of the magnet small and placing the magneto-electric transducer in that location. |
