A mechanical torque indicator apparatus for use in gauging and indicating the magnitude of torsional force exerted on a driven member by a torque drive member includes an elongated torsion member defining a longitudinal axis and having first and second axial ends. The torsion member is supported on the torque drive member so that torsion loading of the driven member is transmitted through the torsion member. The relative rotational displacement of the axial ends of the shaft is converted by the apparatus into bi-directional linear displacement carried out within a plane extending transverse to the axis. This linear displacement actuates an indicator mounted on the torsion member for providing an indication of the applied torque. |
