Abstract:
    The torque detection apparatus has a detector (A1) and a computing unit (B). The detector (A1) includes a first rotating member (12) and a second rotating member (11) that are coaxially disposed, and that are capable of transferring torque and being relatively rotated in a forward rotation direction and a reverse rotation direction, a forward rotation-side load detection element (S1a to S4a) that is mounted on a forward rotation transfer side of each of the two rotating members (11, 12), and a reverse rotation-side load detection element (S1b to S4b) that is mounted on a reverse rotation transfer side of each of the two rotating members. The entire amount of the transfer torque transferred between the two rotating members (11, 12) is transferred via the forward rotation-side load detection element (S1a to S4a) and the reverse rotation-side load detection element (S1b to S4b).
