A low-cost magnetic encoder (1) that facilitates generating sinusoidal magnetic flux is provided. First and second permanent magnet arrays (15, 17) each include a plurality of permanent magnets (13) arranged such that magnetic poles having the same polarity face each other, and magnetic yokes (14) disposed on side surfaces of the plurality of permanent magnets. The permanent magnets and the magnetic yokes are arranged side by side at a predetermined pitch in the moving direction of a magnetic piece array (9). First and second magnetic detectors (19, 21) corresponding to the first and second permanent magnet arrays are disposed in a positional relationship allowing detection of leakage magnetic flux generated when the permanent magnet arrays and the magnetic piece array are displaced with respect to each other. |
