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 ring between the shaft bearing and the bearing mounting housing. This ring will have strain gages mounted on it in spaced locations so that axial movement of the shaft will produce a deflection in the ring 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 gage device can be calibrated so the output of the record will convert the signal so that a direct reading of the torque output of the shaft can be made.
