Disclosed herein is a torque sensor for automobiles. The torque sensor includes a torsion bar for coaxially connecting an input shaft attached to a steering wheel and an output shaft attached to a steering mechanism. A plurality of detection rings are mounted on the circumferential surfaces of the input and output shafts. At least one detection coil assembly is arranged to surround the gaps between the detection rings. A sensor housing is provided to accommodate the detection coil assembly. A position securing element is secured to the sensor housing to be brought into tight contact with the side surface of the detection coil assembly through the side of the sensor housing with a friction plate interposed between the detection coil assembly and the position securing element for securing the position of the detection coil assembly.
