Abstract
In order to inexpensively measure torque on a shaft such that the measurement is as independent as possible from distance changes or material inconsistencies of the shaft around the circumference thereof, the invention provides a torque transmitter for a torque sensor for measuring a torque on a shaft, having a carrier plate that has a plurality of sensor element carrier plate regions, on each of which at least one sensor element for recording magnetic field changes, caused by the magnetoelastic effect, is arranged, and at least one enclosure region that is designed to at least partly enclose the shaft around the circumference of the shaft, wherein at least one flexible connection region is provided by way of which at least one of the sensor element carrier plate regions is able to be pivoted relative to another sensor element carrier plate region or relative to the at least one enclosure region.
