The GUNT Torsion Test Machine is a motor-driven destructive testing unit designed to study the plastic behavior of materials subjected to twisting loads. It is ideal for components such as screws, shafts, axles, wires, and springs that experience torsion in practical applications. The unit features a clean layout and simple operation, allowing detailed observation of the test sequence. Its powerful motor drive enables industrial-scale testing with precise control.
Product Features
- The torsion test method examines plastic behavior by applying twisting loads until specimen fracture occurs.
- Specimens are twisted by a high-ratio reduction gear motor until destruction by typical shear fracture.
- A frequency converter provides four adjustable drive speeds in both forward and reverse rotation.
- The base plate is torsionally reinforced to ensure stability during testing.
- A transparent protective cover shields operators from flying fragments for enhanced safety.
- Specimens of different materials and lengths are included and the measuring device can be repositioned on the rigid frame to accommodate various specimen sizes.
- The effective twisting moment is measured via a moment-measuring shaft equipped with strain gauges, and values are displayed digitally.
- The twisting angle is recorded by an incremental encoder and displayed.
- Microprocessor-based instrumentation is housed securely to protect sensitive electronics.
- The GUNT software supports experiment conduction and data analysis, connecting to a PC via USB.
