TORQUE MOMENT MEASUREMENT DEVICE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC G01L3/00 

FIELD: measurement equipment.

SUBSTANCE: torque moment measurement device includes a housing, strain gauges, a current collector, drive and driven shafts; with that, drive shaft is connected through a hinge of equal angular speeds to the housing, which allows measuring torque moment at axial displacements of shafts; the housing is connected to the driven shaft through replaceable beams of equal resistance to bending with strain gauges fixed on them and having tips of spherical shape for reduction of friction force at contact point of the beam and the housing.

EFFECT: possibility of changing the range of measured forces due to replacement of beams of equal resistance to bending; possibility of measuring torque moment transmitted from one shaft to the other, even in case of axial displacement, and utilisation flexibility; simplifying the structure.
