For torsion tests on components or materials torsion drives from 2 to 2,000 Nm are available for a wide range of standard testing machines. These drives have been developed as a modular system and can therefore easily be upgraded. A Master Test Program for multiple test axes plus a graphical sequence editor for 4 test axes are available in the testXpert® II test software. For pure torsion tests there are the TorsionLine testing machines with horizontal testing axis and with optional loading weights.
Torsion drives are installed in materials testing machines to perform single and multi-axial loading tests (tensile or compression combined with torsion) during materials and component testing.
