Construction and Design
Torsion Testing Machine FortiTestX 10 is constructed as a rigid benchtop strength of materials lab equipment unit built around a structural frame that supports the sliding measurement jig and all drive and measurement components. The worm gear reduction mechanism, driven by a motor, applies torque progressively and controllably to the test specimen. The specimen is held at one end by a 19 mm AF hex socket and supported at the base plate by square sections that resist rotational movement during testing. A strain gauge bonded to the measuring shaft captures torsional load as an electrical signal proportional to applied torque, while an incremental encoder co-axial with the specimen records the angle of twist at 0.1° resolution across a full 360° range. Both signals feed into a microprocessor-based measurement unit housed in a secure enclosure, with simultaneous digital display of torque and angle. The jig slides along the frame to accommodate specimens from short lengths up to 300 mm, and the 19 mm AF hex socket holder is a commercially sourced standard component for broad specimen compatibility. All construction and materials conform to ISO 9001:2015 quality standards and meet CE marking requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the maximum torque capacity of the FortiTestX 10?
The Torsion Testing Machine FortiTestX 10 has a maximum test torque capacity of 300 Nm, with a maximum specimen length of 300 mm.
Q2: How is torque measured in the FortiTestX 10?
Torque is measured using a strain gauge bonded to the measuring shaft. The strain gauge converts the torsional deformation of the shaft into an electrical signal that is processed and displayed on the digital readout.
Q3: How is the angle of twist measured?
The angle of twist is captured by an incremental encoder with a measurement range of 0° to 360° and a resolution of 0.1°, providing precise angular data throughout the torsion test.
Q4: Which specimen materials are included with the Torsion Testing Machine?
Fifteen specimens are supplied: five each of mild steel, aluminium, and brass. All specimens are 95 mm in length and 10 mm in diameter.
Q5: Is PC software required to operate the FortiTestX 10?
No. The apparatus operates as a standalone strength of materials lab equipment unit using the onboard microprocessor-based measurement system and digital displays. The optional FX-10 LabVIEW software adds data logging, live HMI graph plotting, and PC-based results processing via USB connection.
