ABSTRACT:
A knock sensor includes: a base made up of a flange portion, and a tube portion; a sensor main body including a piezoelectric element that is fitted over an outer peripheral portion of the tube portion; and a stopper ring that is fitted over the outer peripheral portion of the tube portion and cooperates with the flange portion to clamp the sensor main body, a groove being formed on the outer peripheral surface of the tube portion, and the knock sensor being fixed by driving a pressing jig into an outer peripheral surface of the stopper ring to plastically deform the stopper ring and press a protruding portion into the groove, wherein: an axial length of a recess portion that is formed simultaneously on the outer peripheral surface of the stopper ring when the protruding portion is formed is longer than an axial length of the groove.
