Zusammenfassung:A system is provided comprising: a first target including a plurality of first teeth; and a second target that is coupled to the first target via a mechanical link, the second target including a plurality of second teeth, the second target being disposed above or below the first target, the plurality of first teeth including a different number of teeth than the plurality of second teeth, wherein the first target and the second target are configured to generate respective magnetic fields in response to one or more excitation magnetic fields, the respective magnetic fields being usable to measure a twisting force that is incident on the mechanical link that couples the first target to the second target.
