Choose from a wide range of torsion capacities with 7 frame styles and 100's of configurations which allows you to optimize your testing capabilities and pick exactly what you need. Our extensive product line of torsion test machines gives you the options you need. Each torsion testing machine configuration includes your choice of a test controller, easy setup test software, test table with rotary actuator or motor, power source, torsion test fixtures, and torque and angular position sensors. Which means you get the exact system that matches the specifications you need and fits within your budget.
Torque test machines measure the torsional strength, stiffness and stress-strain properties of materials and products which are the ideal solution for biomedical, automotive, and aerospace applications. Torsional testing machines are used to simulate real life service conditions and to check product quality for products such as drill tool bit tips and medical devices, screws and other fasteners, wire, and much more. Get started by deciding if you need a static system or a dynamic fatigue system.

Type: Electromechanical Gear
Capacity: 5650 Nm (50,000 in-lb)The 160T4 frame is designed for high capacity and custom engineered applications such as large test samples. The test frame can be made to match extended sample length requirements.
The 560 series electrodynamic torsion test machines are designed for static, dynamic and fatigue testing applications up to 200 Nm (1770 in-lb). Available in horizontal and vertical configurations. The 560 Series is capable of more sophisticated dynamic fatigue applications for users with fatigue-life testing requirements. Each torsion testing machine configuration includes a test controller, easy setup test software, test table with rotary actuator or motor, power source, torsion test fixtures, and torque and angular position sensors.
The system is capable of static constant angular speed or torsion load rate tests with a cyclic mode for repetitive sinusoidal or triangular waveforms that can cycle between angular positions or torque load limits. Tests last millions of cycles, or until sample failure.
