ABSTRACT:
A displacement detector to obtain high-precision displacement detection with a small-sized, low-cost apparatus. A displacement detector comprises rectangular teeth formed on the outer circumference surface at a pitch of .lambda., a gearwheel made of a magnetic material, a magnet having a width larger than the pitch .lambda. of the gearwheel and so disposed that the N-pole thereof faces the teeth, and a pair of MREs constructed by alternately connecting the long strip portions and short strip portions thereof to have a zigzag shape. A uniform cyclic magnet field from the magnet to the gearwheel is formed within a gap between the gearwheel and the magnet. On the same phase of the magnet field are disposed the pair of MREs so that the directions of the long strip portions thereof and the directions of the magnetic force lines make angles of approximately 45.degree. and approximately 135.degree., respectively.
