ABSTRACT:
A torque meter has an input shaft and an output shaft with a torque sensitive portion connecting the two shafts together. An axial movable element has one end connected to one shaft such that the axial movable element may move axially. Rollers coupled to the other shaft engages the axial movable element for axially moving the axial movable element when torsion of said torque sensitive portion occurs upon the application of torque to one of the shafts. A measuring device is provided for measuring the axial displacement of the axial movable element. The two shafts and the torque sensitive portion are integral with each other defining a single element. The axial movable element is a tubular member surrounding the torque sensitive portion. In another embodiment, one shaft has an aperture formed therethrough and the torque sensitive portion is a tubular member which connects the two shafts together. The axial movable element is located within the aperture and within the tubular member.
