Claim:
1. A torque sensor unit comprising: a first rolling bearing including a first inner race and a first outer race; a second rolling bearing including a second inner race and a second outer race; a housing having an inner peripheral portion to which the first outer race and the second outer race are fitted; a shaft member having an outer peripheral portion to which the first inner race and the second inner race are fixed such that the first inner race and the second inner race rotate together with the shaft member, and two end portions exposed to outside in an axial direction; a bearing restricting assembly restricting axial positions of the first rolling bearing and the second rolling bearing; a first magnetic angle sensor fixed to the first rolling bearing and configured to convert an absolute rotation angle of the first inner race when the shaft member is twisted to a first output signal; and a second magnetic angle sensor fixed to the second rolling bearing and configured to convert an absolute rotation angle of the second inner race when the shaft member is twisted to a second output signal.
