A device for measuring the torque, released or received through a shaft, of machinery or apparatus, in particular an engine or a machine, comprises a first holding part, which is essentially firmly connected to a base. This first holding part is equipped with bearing means in which a second holding part is mounted so that it is pivotable about a pivot axis. The machinery or apparatus is disposed on the second holding part. The bearing means are designed in such a way that the pivot axis, about which the second holding part is pivotable with respect to the first holding part, is substantially coaxial to the axis, about which the shaft of the machinery or apparatus is rotatable. Inserted between the first holding means and the second holding means is a carrying part which is equipped with measuring means and which limits the pivoting. The force, or respectively the torque, acting upon the carrying part can be measured with the measuring elements. With this arrangement the torque can be detected, interference from additional forces acting upon the shaft of the machinery or apparatus being excluded.
