ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for sensing and measuring the torque output of a rotary device such as a gear reduction box by inserting an especially machined or configured adaptor between the shaft bearing and the bearing mounting housing. This adaptor transducer will have strain gages mounted on it in spaced relationship so that the tangential force from the gears reacting on a shaft will produce a deflection in the adaptor transducer which will be detected by the strain gages. The strain gage signal then will be sensed, amplified and can be recorded on an analog read out type meter or monitored continuously on a pen-type recorder or other conventional instruments. The strain gages can be calibrated so the output of the recorder will convert the signal into a direct reading of the torque output transmitted through the gear reduction box.
