Torsion and Bend Unit

The Torsion and Bend Unit, is a combined unit for the demonstration of both torsion and bend to be used in the laboratory or as a complement of the theoretical study about torsion and bend.

ATENG 12236 — Torsion and Bend Unit

Bench-top unit with adjustable legs.

Anodized aluminum frame and panels made of painted steel.

• The “ATENG 12236” unit mainly consists of:
• Two stainless steel guides of 800 mm, which allow to displace the supports in the whole range. This
  allows the student to carry out the experiment of beams of different length.
• Four test pieces with circular section, of 8 mm diameter, of different materials (steel, aluminum, brass,
• bronze). They have marks every 50 mm to make the measurement of the beam length easier.
  Seven test pieces with different rectangular cross section made of stainless steel. They also have marks
• every 50 mm to make the measurement of the beam length easier.
• Dial gauge, range: 0 – 10 mm; accuracy: 0.01 mm; for measure the deformations.
• The elements required to perform the practical exercises are supplied:
• Allen key of 3 mm to assemble the beams in the supports.
• Set of weights adapted to the “ATENG 12236” unit with special hooks for each type of experiment:
