Abstract:
In order to implement a structure capable of improving the resolution of torque measurement while preventing the plastic deformation of a torsion bar (15), an input-side stopper (61) having an uneven shape (gear shape) in the circumferential direction is provided in a portion of an input-side rotating body (55) that includes an input shaft (13) and an input gear (7), and an output-side stopper (63) having an uneven shape (gear shape) in the circumferential direction is provided in a portion of an output-side rotating body (56) that includes an output shaft (14) and an output gear (8). The input-side stopper (61) and the output-side stopper (63) are combined so as to be engaged to be able to transmit torque only when the torsional angle within the elastic range of the torsion bar (15) reaches a predetermined amount.
Abstract:
A bearing raceway ring (25) disposed near a mounting section (9) is disposed on the outer periphery of a circular cylinder section (19). A fluid-sealed chamber (40) in which a measurement liquid is hermetically enclosed is provided between a first member (8) and the bearing raceway ring (25) which is disposed near the mounting section (9). Pressure acting on the fluid to be measured changes as the bearing raceway ring (25) moves in the cylinder-axis direction, the bearing raceway ring (25) being disposed near the mounting section (9). The fluid-sealed chamber (40) is provided with a pressure sensor (44) capable of detecting a change in the pressure of the fluid to be measured.
