ABSTRACT:
A torque detection system is provided for detecting torque applied to a rotary shaft. A spring element is connected to an input and output shaft. As torque is applied to the shaft system, the input shaft is rotationally offset from the output shaft and a sensing system is provided for sensing the amount of rotational offset which is then correlated to a rotational torque level.
