摘要： A force transfer apparatus includes a housing, a shaft, a plunger, a retention plate, and a force sensor. The housing defines a cavity and a sidewall with an aperture. The shaft is supported in the cavity for rotation about a first axis that is a longitudinal axis of the shaft. The plunger is disposed in the aperture and has a first and second ends. The first end is operably coupled to the shaft such that the plunger can slide along a second axis that is transverse to the first axis in response to rotation of the shaft. The retention plate is fixed to the sidewall outside of the cavity adjacent to the aperture. The force sensor is disposed between the second end of the plunger and the retention plate. As such, the force sensor can detect the amount of force applied to the plunger by the rotation of the shaft.
