Abstract
A device for the analog measurement of a torsion torque, a steering column incorporating the device and a module comprising the device. The device comprising a test body which can be deformed by torsion, first and second magnetic pulse generators connected in the vicinity of a first and of a second end, respectively, of the test body, a first and a second analog magnetic sensor, and an electronic treatment device capable of forming, from input analog signals A, B, C, D which are functions of the detected signals, the output signal F(A, B, C, D)=((B*C)−(A*D))/((B*D)+(A*C)) which is a function of the torque applied to said shaft.
