Fixing device and image forming apparatus
A fixing device includes a heating member that heats a developer image on a recording medium; a controlling member that controls a surface temperature of the heating member by coming into contact with an outer circumferential surface of the heating member; a measuring member that measures, on a downstream of the controlling member and on an upstream of a pressing member in a rotation direction of the heating member, the surface temperature; and a supporting unit that causes the controlling member to come into contact with and be separated from the outer circumferential surface by rotating a supporting member around a rotation fulcrum. A distance between the rotation fulcrum and a contact position at which the controlling member comes into contact with the outer circumferential surface is longer than that between the rotation fulcrum and a measurement position at which the measuring member measures the surface temperature.
