Abstract
A hydraulic power unit in a housing has a power shaft associated with the power unit. A transducer adapted for measuring torque is mounted in the housing. A stationary portion of the transducer is mounted in non-contact relation to the shaft. A method for measuring torque in the power unit involves placing the transducer in the position described.
