Abstract

Disclosed is a method for determining the torque introduced into a drive train, the method including the process steps of determining angular signals with the help of two sensors between which a region of the steering train is located which is subjected to a torque evaluating the differences of the angular signals taking into account known torsional rigidity of the steering train.
