Abstract
A torque measuring arrangement with a rotating torque measuring member adapted to be installed into the force flow of a force transmission, which includes a deformation area to which are bonded strain gauge strips adapted to be stressed by the torque to be measured and with a rotary transmitter for the rotating line connections of the strain gauge strips with fixed line connections; the torque measuring member extends disk-shaped essentially perpendicularly to the axis of rotation while a large number of apertures of predetermined mutually identical, preferably circular contour are arranged in the torque measuring member along predetermined radial positions and uniformly distributed over the circumference; the apertures leave therebetween essentially radially extending spoke-like webs whereby the axially measured wall thickness of the torque measuring member is considerably greater at least within the area of the apertures or webs than the width of the webs measured in the circumferential direction at the narrowest location thereof; the strain gauge strips are glued onto the measuring webs eccentrically from a radial point of view.
