DEFINITION

Classification: 73/862.321

By measuring elastic deformation of a torque transmitting member:

(under subclass 862.191) Subject matter wherein the determination is made by sensing the deflection or distortion of an elastic member that transmits a torque from the source to the load.

(1) Note. The elastic member usually comprises a spring element or a torsionally flexible shaft.
