ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for direct measurement of torque includes a shaft rotatably mounted in a shaft support and a driver collar rotatably mounted to the shaft. A driven collar is fixed to said shaft and concentric with the driver collar and shaft, and a resilient element is disposed between the driver and driven collars, for transferring rotary motion between the driver and driven collars in response to rotation of either the shaft or the driver collar. A sensor, disposed between the driver and driven collars, is provided for measuring an angular displacement of the driver collar relative to the driven collar in order to provide a direct measurement of torque.
