- the second magnetized sector D includes a radially inner portion magnetized to a south pole and a radially outer portion magnetized to a north pole.
- the magnetic poles of the radially outer portion and the radially inner portion of the first magnetized sector A and the second magnetized sector D are reversed to each other.
- the polarities of the radially inner portion and the radially inner portion of the first magnetized sector A and the polarities of the radially inner portion and the radially inner portion of the second magnetized sector D may be reversed from those described above.
- the first magnetized sector A and the second magnetized sector D are adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction at the origin O of the rotating disk 25A.
- the first magnetized sector A extends from the origin O in a clockwise direction on the rotating disk 25A
- the second magnetized sector D extends from the origin O in a counterclockwise direction on the rotating disk 25A.

- the TMR element 36A in the initial state, is located at the origin O and at a central position between the radially outer portion and the radially inner portion of the rotating disk 25A. Strictly speaking, in the initial state, the center of the insulating layer 42 of the TMR element 36A is located between the first magnetized sector A and the second magnetized sector D, and between the radially outer portion and the radially inner portion.
- Figure 3 is a diagram showing the relationship between magnetic field and resistance.
- the horizontal axis represents the external magnetic field H acting on the TMR element 36A
- the vertical axis represents the resistance R of the TMR element 36A.
- the TMR element 36A has hysteresis, in which the change in magnetization lags behind the change in the magnetic field.
- the resistance R maintains its original value. In other words, when the TMR element 36A moves relatively from the first magnetized sector A toward the unmagnetized sector B, the resistance R remains low.

- step S2 If it is determined in step S2 that the angle ⁇ s is in the first magnetized sector A, the process proceeds to step S3.
- step S3 the angle ⁇ s is located in the positive direction, and in this case, the total rotation determination circuit 37 determines that the output shaft 23 is making its second rotation since being disconnected from the main power supply 19.
- step S4 the calculation unit 38 calculates the integer part of "N ⁇ s/360" as the total number of rotations PB1 of the motor shaft 13 after the cutoff. Furthermore, the calculation unit 38 can also calculate the movement angle ⁇ p of the motor shaft 13 during the second rotation of the output shaft 23 as "N ⁇ s".
- step S2 If it is determined in step S2 that the angle ⁇ s is in the second magnetized sector D, the process proceeds to step S5.
- step S5 the angle ⁇ s is in the negative direction, and in this case, the total rotation determination circuit 37 determines that the output shaft 23 is making its first rotation since being disconnected from the main power supply 19.
- step S6 the calculation unit 38 calculates the total number of rotations PB1 of the motor shaft 13 after the cutoff as the integer part of "N ⁇ (360- ⁇ s)/360". Furthermore, the calculation unit 38 can also calculate the movement angle ⁇ p of the motor shaft 13 during the first rotation of the output shaft 23 as "N(360- ⁇ s)".
- step S7 the total rotation determination circuit 37 acquires the resistance R of the TMR element 36A and determines whether the resistance R is greater than a predetermined value R0.
- the predetermined value R0 is a value between the high value (High) and the low value (Low) shown in FIG. 3.
- the total rotation determination circuit 37 determines that the angle ⁇ s is in the non-magnetized sector B, and proceeds to steps S3 and S4. Then, in the same manner as described above, the calculation unit 38 calculates the total number of rotations PB1 of the motor shaft 13, etc.
- the total number of rotations PB1 of the motor shaft 13 and the total number of rotations PB2 of the output shaft 23 can be accurately calculated without power even after the main power supply 19 is cut off.
- FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the magnetization pattern in the second embodiment.
- an additional TMR element 36B (additional magnetic resistance switch) is arranged at a position facing the TMR element 36A in the diametrical direction of the annular magnetization pattern 35B.
- the additional TMR element 36B is arranged facing a rotating disk with the magnetization pattern 35B, for example, rotating disk 25A.
- the track 39 of the magnetization pattern 35B on the rotating disk 25A includes additional unmagnetized sectors E and F.
- the additional unmagnetized sectors E and F are located opposite the unmagnetized sectors B and C in the radial direction of the annular magnetization pattern 35B.

- the circumferential length of the additional unmagnetized sectors E, F is equal to the circumferential length of the unmagnetized sectors B, C, the unmagnetized sectors B, C and the additional unmagnetized sectors E, F are arranged in positions that are point-symmetrical to each other with respect to the center of the magnetization pattern 35B.
- the center of the insulating layer 42 of the TMR element 36A is located at the center position on the boundary line between unmagnetized sectors E and F, and the center of the insulating layer 42 of the additional TMR element 36B is located at the center position on the boundary line between unmagnetized sectors B and C.
- resistance R and resistance R' have the same value, it is known that some kind of error has occurred.
- Such an error may be, for example, a failure of at least one of TMR element 36A and additional TMR element 36B, and/or the generation of a strong external magnetic field affecting TMR elements 36A and 36B. Therefore, in the second embodiment, it is possible to detect, via controller 9, that TMR elements 36A and 36B have failed, that a strong external magnetic field is being generated, etc.

In this way, after the rotating disks 15A and 25A have been installed and the phase of the motor shaft 13 is stopped at its origin position, the absolute positions within one rotation of the rotating disks 15A and 25A are recorded in the memory as error amounts. This allows the position detection system 5a to be made available for use sooner.
