Hi LOGU,

to measure the force of a motor you must measure the corrent absorbed from it.

You can use a shunt and an OPAMP to converte the current into a voltage readable from ADC of your microcontroller.

The current flow through the shunt is the same of motor current: this is proportional to the mechanical strength avialable on the shaft.

(encoder is used only to evaluate the speed and direction of rotation).
