ABSTRACT:
The method and apparatus for deriving a calibrated deformation signal from a signal produced by a strain gauge bridge on a rotating shaft involves further strain gauge bridges, one approximating the deformation bridge signal in the absence of torque and another approximating the deformation bridge signal in the presence of a known torque. The signals are all processed by the same entities and the calibrated signal is derived from a straight line plot determined by determined by the latter two signals. In addition, an axial loading of the shaft is detected by a further strain gauge. Control of power input and of power consumed is from the calibrated deformation signal and the axial loading signal.
