As a result, the moving body detection device 100 is fixed to the fixed object 70 with the mounting bolt, and the detected body and the magnetic detection element 10 face each other, and the amount of movement of the detected body (such as the number of rotations) is the magnetic detection element 10. Is detected (measured).
When the moving body detection device 100 is, for example, a rotation detection device, the axle of the front wheel of the two-wheeled vehicle is the detected body, the vehicle body in the vicinity of the axle is the fixed object 70, and the first housing 40 is fixed to the fixed object 70. By fixing the fixing portion 42, the tip of the second housing 50 that is fitted and connected to the first housing 40 is disposed in the mounting hole 71 so as to face the axle. As a result, the rotational speed of the axle is measured from the magnetic change caused by the rotation of the axle of the two-wheeled vehicle that is to be detected, and the vehicle speed is calculated and output to the outside, or the rotational speed of the axle is detected and output. Is done.

It can be detected with high accuracy by suppressing a reduction in detection accuracy due.
Further, since the magnetic detection element 10 and the magnet 20 are fixed to the first housing 40 fixed to the fixing object 70, it is necessary to fix the magnetic detection element 10 and the magnet 20 by filling the second housing 50 with resin and curing. No curing time is required, and production can be efficiently performed in a short time.
