Abstract
An angular displacement sensor. The input shaft is supported by a housing and fixed to a main gear. A plurality of secondary gears are arranged around and meshed with the primary gear. A plurality of displacement sensors are integrally coupled with the secondary gears. Advantageously, the main shaft is formed with a shear notch. Further, each of the secondary gears are coupled to the displacement sensors so as to break free in case of a jam.
