Torsion Unit Deluxe

The Torsion Unit, allows to verify the basis of torsion and to perform practical exercises to demonstrate: circular rods elastic torsion equation and the rigidity modulus of different materials.

ATENG 12238 — Torsion Unit

Bench-top unit with adjustable legs.

Anodized aluminum frame and panels in painted steel.

• The “ATENG 12238” unit mainly consists of:
  Main frame that is supported on two aluminum blocks. It consists of two guides made of stainless steel.
  The rest of the components are made of aluminum.
  Two guides of the unit on which the mobile clamp slides are for testing rods of different lengths.
  Mobile clamp located at one end that has a crank in the bottom to adjust the test rod to the desired
  length. It is made of stainless steel.
  Fixed clamp, consists of two bearings which allow it to turn. It has an arm on which the force is applied.
• It has a notch placed 60 mm from the longitudinal axis of the test rod, to carry out the measurements.
  The dial gauge should be placed on this notch to properly measure the deformation.The clamp is made
  of stainless steel.
• Test rods: standard supply of three test rods made of steel, brass and aluminum. They are 8 mm in
• diameter and 350 mm in length. They have marks every 50 mm, to make the performance of practical
  exercises at different lengths easier. ATENG 12238 detail
  Dynamometer up to 10 Kg, with a 50 g accuracy, to apply the forces on the test rod.
• Dial gauge, range: 0 – 20 mm; accuracy: 0.01 mm; to measure the deformation of the test rod subjected to the force.
  All the necessary tools to carry out the experiments are provided. One allen key is supplied to adjust the dial gauge and one allen key is
  supplied to tighten the clamps.
