1. A rotating electric machine system comprising a rotating electric machine and a rotating electric machine housing configured to rotatably support a rotating shaft of the rotating electric machine,
wherein the rotating shaft includes a hollow cylindrical outer shaft, and an inner shaft configured to be removably inserted in a hollow interior part of the outer shaft;
the outer shaft includes a first outer shaft end part and a second outer shaft end part that are positioned opposite to each other in an axial direction of the rotating shaft;
the inner shaft includes a first inner shaft end part and a second inner shaft end part that are positioned opposite to each other in the axial direction; and
the first inner shaft end part of the inner shaft includes a projecting distal end that is exposed from the first outer shaft end part of the outer shaft;
the rotating electric machine system comprising:
a rotational parameter detector provided on the projecting distal end, and configured to detect a rotational parameter of the rotating shaft;
a retaining member provided on the projecting distal end, and configured to retain the rotational parameter detector on the projecting distal end; and
a restraining member provided on the projecting distal end, and configured to restrain the inner shaft to the outer shaft.
