Abstract:
1. A cylindrical torsion-detecting sleeve member comprising: a first cylindrical torque-acting part disposed at a first location; a second cylindrical torque-acting part disposed at a second location that is axially spaced from the first location; a torsion signal generator disposed axially between the first and second cylindrical torque-acting parts to at least partially form an external peripheral surface between the first and second cylindrical torque-acting parts; and a torsion converter torsionally connected to and disposed between the torsion signal generator and at least one of the first and second cylindrical torque-acting parts for converting torsion transmitted from the at least one of the first and second cylindrical torque-acting parts through the torsion converter and subsequently to the torsion signal generator.
