An assembly for measuring a torque transmitted between a first member and a second member of a turbomachine includes a pinion having a first annular portion and a second annular portion joining together at a connecting portion carrying a gearing of the pinion, said first and second annular portions extending axially in opposite directions, from the connecting portion. The pinion also includes an axial power shaft with a first area coupled to the first annular portion, and a second area for coupling to the second member, and a device for measuring the torsion between the first and second areas. The device includes a first phonic wheel on the power shaft, a second phonic wheel equipping the second annular portion of the pinion and axially aligned with the first phonic wheel, and an acquisition means axially aligned with and opposite to the first phonic wheel and the second phonic wheel and outputting a signal representative of an angular variation.
