ABSTRACT:
In a detecting apparatus for detecting a steering state at a steering member (1) by respectively providing targets (34and35) in the shape of a spur gear having teeth portions (34aand35a) to an input shaft (32) connected to the steering member and an output shaft (33) connected to the input shaft (32) by interposing a torsion bar (31), when an allowable maximum value of rotational torque applied to the steering member is designated by notation T, a number of teeth Z of the teeth portions (34aand35a) and a spring constant K of the torsion bar (31) are determined to satisfy the following inequality, 360(deg)/Z>T(Nm)/K(Nm/deg).
