What is the torque meter assembly?



Answer: The shaft that connects the gas generator to the Reduction gear box. Two parts: Torque shaft - inner, coupled to the compressor (or free power turbine), experiences torsional load. Reference shaft - outer, rigidly connected only at one end, doesn't carry a load. The difference in twisting between the torque shaft and reference shaft is used to measure torque.
