To precisely detect a steering angle in steering.
A scale plate 5 comprising an annular thin sheet is attached to a front end of a base part 3 in a steering hole 1 serving as a rotary part. A detector 9 is installed opposedly to the scale plate 5 in a steering column 7 serving as a fixed part. A graduation 13 with a pitch λ along a circumferential direction in the scale plate 5. An array direction of two photoelectric sensors 23 is brought into a condition inclined at a prescribed angle θ with respect to the pitch direction of the graduation 13, in the detector 9, and a mutual detection pitch P2 for the two photoelectric sensors 23 is constituted to have n+λ/4 (n is 0 or more of integer) of phase difference with respect to the pitch λ.
