ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to directly measuring the torque applied to a capstan attached to an output shaft of a motor. The output shaft of the motor is rotatably mounted within a support. The motor includes a lever arm projecting therefrom. The lever arm coacts with a load cell to restrict the motor from rotating within the frame. As a torque is applied to the capstan, a proportional force is applied by the lever arm against the load cell. The force against the load cell can be calibrated to reflect the torque on the capstan.
