Analogue Torsion Testing Machine -HT – A Series
Analogue Torsion Testing Machine is a mechanical testing instrument used to evaluate the torsional properties of materials, similar to the digital version described earlier. The main difference is that the analog machine operates using mechanical components and analog gauges, instead of digital sensors and displays.
Key Components:
- Test Specimen: The material sample that undergoes torsional deformation during the test. The specimen is clamped securely within the machine to ensure accurate results, just like in the digital version.
- Drive System: The analog machine uses a mechanical drive system to apply the twisting force to the test specimen. It typically consists of a lever arm and weights. By adding or removing weights from the lever arm, the applied torque can be controlled.<
- Torsion Scale: Instead of a load cell and digital display, the analog machine is equipped with a torsion scale. This scale indicates the amount of torque applied to the test specimen during the test. The operator reads the torque value directly from the scale.<
- Angle Scale: Analog torsion testing machines also have an angle scale to measure the angular displacement of the test specimen as it twists. The angle scale indicates the number of degrees of twist experienced by the specimen.<
- Clamping Mechanism: The test specimen needs to be securely clamped in the machine to prevent slipping or movement during the test. Analog machines use manual clamping mechanisms, which might require careful adjustment by the operator.<
- Manual Controls: The operator manually adjusts the torque level by adding or removing weights from the lever arm of the machine. This process requires precision and care to achieve accurate results.
