Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods described herein provide a position sensor system configured to sense a relative position between a reference object and a sensed object, where the sensed object has a varying surface. The position sensor system may include at least one force sensor supported by the reference object and positioned adjacent to and in sensory communication with the varying surface. The sensor may be configured to generate a signal related to a force sensed due to a position of the varying surface relative to the sensor. A processor may be configured to determine, using the force signal, the position of the sensed object relative to the sensor. The position sensor system may be used to identify a torque of an elongated vehicle member, for example.
