The system that I have is this one https://www.amazon.com/T-king-Reciproca ... r=8-8&th=1 modified with a higher torque motor. It changes the rotary motion to linear motion.
My idea is to place the sensor inline like this: linear motion rod > load cell > part doing the work. I certainly wouldn't work if it were attached to the hub of the motor as you state. I looked at the futek torque sensors and couldn't find prices on their webpage which usually means they are $$$. Quick google of the products shows they are indeed $$$, one sensor cost more then the entire system. But thanks for the idea.

you have a rotary actuator and you want to either
- limit torque by a slip clutch
- measure torque and stop actuator when overload occurs
This sensor https://www.amazon.com/DYMH-103-Tension ... F4DLW&th=1 is not suitable to measure torque 'inline, rotating' with the actuator shaft. The sensor can only measure forces aligned with the fastening screws.

If you use the 'reactive torque' pattern, then you could design an actuator fixture where you insert strain measurement.
Or look for 'torque measurement shafts'.
