PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the shape of a sensor main body from becoming large even if a detection position adjusting mechanism is provided to achieve miniaturization and weight reduction. SOLUTION: A position detection sensor has a casing 102, a cover member 107 for closing the recessed part formed to the casing 102 and the screw member 116 inserted in the attaching hole part piercing the easing 102 and the cover member 107. The casing 102 and the cover member 107 are provided so as to be freely revolvable integrally centering around the axis being the center of revolution of the screw member 116 in a peripheral direction.
