A device inserted between two shaft sections (4, 5) linking drive (1) and driven (2) members, comprising two facing discs (6, 7) with peripheral position coding portions (8) each connected to one shaft section and to one another via a resilient buffer (9), and a position detector (11) facing the position coding portions and having an output connected to a torque determining unit (12). The device is characterised in that the coding portions consist of alternating axial projections provided on the discs and facing the resilient buffer (9), the position detector (11) includes a sensor facing said alternating axial projections, and the torque determining unit includes a unit (12) for analysing the sensor output signal duty cycle. |
