TORSION TESTING SYSTEMS

Torsion Systems

Products such as medical devices, electronic devices, consumer products, fasteners, and many others are subjected to torsional stresses in their everyday use. By testing their products in torsion, manufacturers are able to simulate real life service conditions, check product quality, verify designs, and ensure proper manufacturing techniques.

Instron offers several solutions for torsion testing, depending on the application. Some labs prefer a dedicated torsion-only testing system such as Instron’s MT MicroTorsion Series, while others may prefer to adapt their existing universal testing machine with a Torsion Add-On 3.0 fixture that enables the system to perform biaxial testing. Functional testing of finished products is often performed on a dynamic fatigue system such as Instron’s ElectroPuls or servohydraulic systems.
