Abstract

See full text

A device (1) for determining the torque applied to a crankset shaft (10) moveable in rotation about an axis of rotation, includes a supporting element (50). The crankset shaft (10) has two separate parts that are moveable in rotation, the supporting element being designed to keep the two parts substantially coaxial with the axis of rotation. Furthermore, the two parts have respective contact elements designed to transform the rotational movement of one of the two parts into a simultaneously translational and rotational movement of the other of the two parts, as well as stop element designed to cooperate with the supporting element. The device also has at least one sensing element (80) designed to provide a signal representing a mechanical stress applied to the at least one sensing element, and a processing module configured to determine the torque as a function of the signal.
