This assembly is a torque measuring device that measures the torque output a tool is producing. A hollow torsion tube connects the tool to a reaction arm through the assembly. A torque transducer is attached to the side of the torsion tube. The ends of the torque transducer are attached in a way that transfers the torque output of the tool to the torsion tube. The transducer produces an electrical signal directly proportional to the amount of twisting that occurs in the torsion tube and transducer. A handle also is attached to the torsion tube in a way that allows the handle to rotate 360° around the torsion tube. Since the operator holds the handle instead of the tool, the operators influence on the tool's torque output is removed, increasing the accuracy of the device.
