RELATIVE ANGLE SENSING DEVICE AND ELECTRIC POWER STEERING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A relative angle sensing device comprising:
- a sensor that is contained in a housing in which a communication hole communicating inside and outside is formed, and outputs an electric signal according to a relative rotation angle between two rotary shafts coaxially arranged;
an electric cable that transmits the electric signal outputted from the sensor to an apparatus arranged at outside of the housing;
an electric cable holding member that is fitted with the communication hole of the housing and holds the electric cable; and
an outer component that is arranged at a position outside the electric cable holding member in the communication hole of the housing, and that has, at inside thereof, a penetration hole through which the electric cable passes, whereinthe outer component has a pair of opening and closing components that is joined by a hinge and opens and closes the penetration hole by relative rotation.
