Abstract

A torque sensor comprises a freewheel with a first rotating element for transferring a torque to be determined to a second rotating element which is coaxial to the first rotating element, the transfer occurring in one rotational direction, and devices for determining a rotation of the first rotating element relative to the second rotating element in said rotational direction and for determining the torque using the determined relative rotation.
