ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method/system for measuring torque. The method/system includes providing a first rotating disk having a target pattern and providing a second rotating disk having a target pattern. The method/system includes providing a first set of at least three sensors, comprised of a first disk first sensor, a first disk second sensor, and a first disk third sensor, the first set of at least three sensors for sensing the first rotating disk target pattern with the first set of at least three sensors fixed around and encompassing the first rotating disk. The method/system includes providing a second set of at least three sensors, comprised of a second disk first sensor, a second disk second sensor, and a second disk third sensor, the second set of at least three sensors for sensing the second rotating disk target pattern, with the second set of at least three sensors fixed around and encompassing the second rotating disk. The method/system includes measuring an apparent twist of the first rotating disk relative to the second rotating disk with the first set of at least three sensors and the second set of at least three sensors, and determining an actual twist angle from the measured apparent twist.
