ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for direct measurement of torque in an articulated joint includes a driver assembly, and a driven assembly. The driver and driven assembly are mounted on a common shaft allowing angular displacement between the driver and driven assemblies. A resilient driver is provided for rotating the driven assembly relative to the driver assembly and a sensor is provided for directly measuring torque as indicated by the angular displacement of the resilient driver relative to the driven assembly. A second sensor may be provided to measure the angular position of the driven assembly relative to the driver assembly.
