Product Information Torsion testing machines TorsionLine TL 020 / TL 200 / TL 500 PI 445 2.0912 Application range The torsion testing machines TorsionLine TL020, TL200 and TL500 are fitted for research of the torsional influence on materials and components. The torsion testing axis is located in horizontal direction. Main applications • Testing of plastics • Testing of metallic materials, e.g. reverse torsion testing of wire, according DIN EN 2002-13 • Products of medical engineering, e.g. metal bone screws, according ISO 6475 • Fixture systems • Screws in general • Compound materials • Cardan shafts • Motor bearings Advantages and features • The maximum amount of stiffness guarantees an very accurate angle measurement in the complete torsional range • High resolution of rotation angle measurement • Mechanical overload protection for small torque cells during the installation of the specimen • Maximum test speed for high specimen throughput • Use of maintenance-free AC-servo-motor • Operation with standard PC or laptop (no special interface card required) and testXpert ® II application software • Optional static load application unit (tensile and compression axial forces) , Fmax. 500 N • Using for production, quality assurance, research and development • Maximum of application flexibility and operation by modern software control • Safety device with electrical interlock (conform to CE) • Wide range of optional Zwick accessories Figure: Torsion testing machine TorsionLine Figure: Drawing of TorsionLine
