Torsion Testing Machines

Torsion Testing Machines, also known as a torsion tester or torsion testing apparatus, is a mechanical device used to evaluate the mechanical properties and behavior of materials under torsional forces. It is specifically designed to measure the torsional strength, shear modulus, and other torsional properties of materials. Torsion testing machine typically consists of a motorized system that applies a twisting or torsional force to a test specimen while measuring the applied torque and the resulting angle of twist.

Torque measurement may include grips or fixtures specifically designed to securely hold the test specimen during the test. Test specimen grips or fixtures are commonly used in materials science, engineering, manufacturing, and research and development to assess the torsional properties of various materials, such as metals, alloys, composites, polymers, and biomaterials. Torsion tester help determine the material’s resistance to torsional loads, its stiffness, and its ability to withstand twisting forces without failure or deformation.
