Get the Most Affordable Torsion Test Machines
Choose from 7 different frame styles with 100's of configurations
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 testers 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.
