Description:
Up to 30Nm torque is applied via the moment head to differing material test specimens using hand operated worm and wheel gearbox (60:1 ratio).
The unit can cater for test specimens of up to 750mm between the moment head and torsion head. The moment head is fixed but the torsion head can be moved along the base to allow for the different lengths of specimen. The change in length of the specimen is not restricted during the experiment. Standard hexagon drives are used for transmitting the torque into the specimens.
Experimental Capability:
- Torsional loading to failure of varying material specimens
- Torsional variation due to material, cross sectional area
- Comparison between actual and theoretical results
- Determination of the Modulus of Rigidity and Yield Shear Stress
- Working with the elastic torsion equation
- Hardness testing
