A device for determines the torque and/or the rotary angle between a first shaft and a second shaft, which are coupled via a gear mechanism to rotate relative to one another about an axis of rotation. The first shaft has a first end region, a second end region, and a first direction vector pointing in parallel with the axis of rotation from the first end region to the second end region, and the second shaft has a first end region, a second end region, and a second direction vector pointing in parallel with the axis of rotation from the first end region to the second end region. The first shaft is designed as a hollow shaft and the second shaft is arranged coaxially in the first shaft in such a way that the first direction vector and the second direction vector have the same orientation.
