Abstract
A sensor device for sensing a torque being applied to an object is provided. The sensor device comprises a first inductance arrangement having a first coil with a corresponding main sensing direction and a capacitance arrangement. The capacitance arrangement together with the first inductance arrangement forms a resonant circuit having a corresponding resonance frequency. The first coil is oriented so as to have the corresponding main magnetizing directions oriented toward an object to be sensed.
