The invention relates to a component transducer () for sensing a torque component (Mx, My, Mz); wherein an element () made of piezoelectric crystal material comprises element surfaces; wherein a force component (Fx, Fy, Fz) produces electric polarization charges on the element surfaces; and wherein the torque component (Mx, My, Mz) to be sensed consists of at least one pair having force components (+Fx, &#x2212;Fx; +Fy, &#x2212;Fy; +Fz, &#x2212;Fz) wherein said force components (+Fx, &#x2212;Fx; +Fy, &#x2212;Fy; +Fz, &#x2212;Fz) of a pair have the same axis of action and opposite directions of action. The component transducer () receives the force components (+Fx, &#x2212;Fx; +Fy, &#x2212;Fy; +Fz, &#x2212;Fz) of a pair separately.
