Abstract
A torque meter includes a casing and a part is configured to move in the casing in translation in a longitudinal direction under the effect of an axial thrust representative of the torque to be measured. The torque meter further includes a bearing surface connected to the casing via at least one of the ends thereof. The bearing surface extends at least partially in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. One longitudinal end of the movable part is configured to be brought into contact with the bearing surface so that a longitudinal displacement of the movable part leads to a deformation of the bearing surface. The torque meter also has a device configured to measure the deformation of the bearing surface.
