An endless belt device includes an endless belt and a plurality of rotary
members rotatably supporting the endless belt. One of the plurality of
rotary members includes a marker formed on a part of a circumferential
surface of a rotation axis thereof. A reflection-type sensor is arranged
to oppose the circumferential surface of the rotation axis of the one of
the plurality of rotary members to detect the marker formed on the
circumferential surface. A rotation speed of the endless belt is detected
by detecting the marker on the circumferential surface of the rotation
axis of the one of the plurality of rotary members by the reflection-type
sensor.
