The GUNT Torsion Test Machine is designed for destructive testing to study the plastic behavior of materials subjected to twisting forces. It is ideal for components like screws, shafts, axles, wires, and springs that experience torsion in real-world applications. The unit provides clear and detailed observation of the experimental sequence with its clean layout and simple operation.
Product Features
- The torsion test studies plastic behavior by applying twisting loads until specimen fracture occurs.
- Specimens are twisted manually via a handwheel and worm gear until destruction by shear fracture.
- The base plate is torsionally reinforced to ensure structural stability during testing.
- A transparent protective cover shields operators from flying fragments for safety.
- The effective twisting moment is measured by a moment-measuring shaft fitted with strain gauges and displayed directly.
- The twisting angle is recorded by an incremental encoder and displayed for precise measurement.
- Measured values are transmitted directly to a PC for detailed analysis using included software.
- The device is adjustable on the rigid frame to accommodate specimens of different lengths.
- Specimens of various materials and lengths are included in the scope of delivery.
Benefits
- Accurate analysis of plastic behavior under torsional load for critical component testing.
