TORSION TESTING MACHINE AZA1010
The AZA1010 Torsion Testing Machine by Azalab is a precision-engineered laboratory system designed to evaluate the behavior of materials under twisting (torsional) loads. It accurately determines torsional strength, shear modulus (modulus of rigidity), yield strength in shear, and ductility in torsion, making it essential for industries where components experience rotational stress such as automotive, aerospace, medical device manufacturing, and spring production.This machine delivers highly reliable torque vs. angle of twist data and supports both research and quality control applications.
Working Principle
The AZA1010 applies a controlled rotational force (torque) to a securely clamped specimen:
- One end of the specimen is fixed to a precision torque transducer
- The opposite end is rotated by a motorized drive system
- The system simultaneously measures:
- Applied Torque
- Angle of Twist (angular deformation)
This data is used to calculate shear stress, shear strain, torsional strength, and shear modulus.
