Torsion Testing Machine 1000Nm (Motorized) | FortiTestX – 12
A model-specific torsion testing machine for determining shear modulus, twist angle, and torsional rigidity of metal specimens, manufactured by Scientico India to ISO 9001:2015 standards. Supplied with calibration certificate, operation manual, and complete export documentation. Designed for Strength of Materials laboratories in engineering colleges and technical institutions.
Torsion Testing Machine FortiTestX 12 is a motorised, benchtop strength of materials lab equipment unit engineered for torsional testing of various material specimens to fracture under a maximum test torque of 1000 Nm. This Torsion Testing Machine 1000Nm Motorized apparatus applies torque via a motor-driven worm gear reduction mechanism, measuring test torque through a strain gauge shaft and angle of twist through an incremental encoder, with both values displayed simultaneously on digital readouts within a microprocessor-based enclosure. The FortiTestX 12 accommodates specimen lengths up to 650 mm via a sliding measurement jig and accepts specimens of different diameters through a jaw-type holder, making it the highest-capacity torsion testing machine 1000Nm motorized unit in the FortiTestX range for undergraduate and research-level engineering laboratories.
Product Overview
The Torsion Testing Machine FortiTestX 12 is a self-contained motorised benchtop unit for torsion testing of different materials, mild steel, aluminium, and brass, to specimen fracture at torque levels up to 1000 Nm. Torque is applied through a worm gear reduction mechanism driven by a motor, providing controlled, repeatable, and high-capacity torsional loading. A strain gauge bonded to the measuring shaft captures the actual test torque as an electrical signal with a resolution of 1 Nm and transmits it to the digital display. The angle of twist is measured by an incremental encoder with 0.1° resolution across a 0° to 360° incremental range, displayed simultaneously alongside torque on dedicated digital readouts housed within a secure microprocessor-based enclosure. The measurement jig slides along the frame to accommodate test rods up to 650 mm in length. Unlike lower-capacity models in the FortiTestX series, the FortiTestX 12 torsion testing machine 1000Nm motorized unit uses a jaw-type holder capable of gripping specimens of different sizes, expanding the range of testable rod diameters and profiles. Square sections on the base plate resist torsional movement during testing. Test torque, twist angle, and stiffness modulus are all measurable and processable via the optional LabVIEW-based software (FX-12), which connects to a PC via USB and runs on any Windows operating system. Live graph plotting on HMI is available as an optional feature.

Construction and Design
Torsion Testing Machine FortiTestX 12 is constructed as a rigid, motorised torsion testing machine 1000Nm benchtop unit built on a heavy-duty structural frame that supports the sliding measurement jig and all drive and measurement components. The motor drives a worm gear reduction mechanism, applying torque progressively and controllably to the test specimen up to the maximum 1000 Nm capacity. The specimen is secured using a jaw-type holder capable of gripping rods of different sizes, providing broader specimen compatibility than fixed-socket alternatives used in lower-capacity models. Square sections on the base plate resist rotational movement during testing, ensuring all applied torque acts exclusively on the specimen. A strain gauge bonded to the measuring shaft captures torsional load as an electrical signal with 1 Nm resolution, while an incremental encoder co-axial with the specimen records the angle of twist at 0.1° resolution across a full 0° to 360° incremental range. Both signals feed into a microprocessor-based measurement unit housed in a secure enclosure, with simultaneous digital display of torque and angle. The sliding jig accommodates all specimen lengths up to 650 mm, and the jaw holder accepts specimens of varying diameters for maximum experimental flexibility. This torsion testing machine 1000Nm motorized design ensures that every phase of the torsion test, from initial elastic loading through plastic deformation to final fracture, is fully observable and precisely measurable. All construction and materials conform to ISO 9001:2015 quality standards and meet CE marking requirements.
Software, FX-12 (Optional)

Supports optional live graph plotting on HMI for real-time torque-twist curve visualisation. Connected to the apparatus via USB. Compatible with any Windows-based operating system. The software is optional and selected independently of the base unit.
Q1: What is the maximum torque capacity of the Torsion Testing Machine FortiTestX 12?
The FortiTestX 12 is a torsion testing machine 1000Nm motorized unit with a maximum test torque of 1000 Nm at 1 Nm resolution and a maximum specimen length of 650 mm, the highest capacity model in the FortiTestX torsion testing range.
Q2: How does the FortiTestX 12 differ from the FortiTestX 10 motorised 300Nm model?
Both are motorised torsion testing machines, but the FortiTestX 12 torsion testing machine 1000Nm motorized unit offers more than three times the torque capacity (1000 Nm versus 300 Nm), a longer maximum specimen length (650 mm versus 300 mm), a jaw-type holder for variable specimen sizes rather than a fixed hex socket, and a finer torque resolution of 1 Nm.
Q3: What type of specimen holder does the FortiTestX 12 use?
The FortiTestX 12 uses a jaw-type holder designed to grip specimens of different sizes and diameters. This provides greater specimen compatibility compared to the fixed 19 mm AF hex socket used in the 300Nm models.
Q4: How is torque measured in the FortiTestX 12?
Torque is measured using a strain gauge bonded to the measuring shaft. The strain gauge converts torsional deformation into an electrical signal with a resolution of 1 Nm, which is processed and displayed on the digital readout in real time.
Q5: Is the LabVIEW software required to operate the FortiTestX 12?
No. The FortiTestX 12 operates fully as a standalone torsion testing machine 1000Nm motorized unit using the onboard microprocessor-based measurement system and digital displays. The optional FX-12 software adds data logging, stiffness modulus calculation, HMI live graph plotting, and PC-based results processing via USB on Windows.
