TorsionLine TL 020 / TL 200 / TL 500 Torsion Testing Machines

Product catalog summary

Range of Application: The TorsionLine TL020, TL200, and TL500 torsion testing machines are designed to evaluate the torsional effects on materials and components. The testing axis is horizontally oriented.

Main Areas of Use: These machines are primarily used for testing plastics, metallic materials (e.g., reverse torsion test on wire, EN 2002-13), medical engineering products (e.g., metal bone screws, ISO 6475), fasteners, connectors, bolts, screws, composites, drive shafts, and motor/engine bearings.

Advantages and Features: The machines offer maximum stiffness for accurate high rotation angle measurement, maintenance-free AC servo drives, operation with standard PCs or laptops using testXpert® II software, and are designed for production, quality assurance, and R&D. They include a safety device with electrical interlock, mechanical overload protection, and a large test speed range. An optional static weight loading unit is available for axial forces up to 500 N.

Product Specifications:

Load Frame: Torque capacities are 20 Nm for TL020, 200 Nm for TL200, and 500 Nm for TL500. All models have an overall height of 1775 mm, width of 1475 mm, and depth of 650 mm.
Safety and Operation: All models feature an electrically interlocked safety device and a manually operated, electrically monitored torque transducer anti-rotation device.
Dimensions and Weight: The machines weigh between 185 and 188 kg, with grip-to-grip separation maxing at 510 mm with a 4-jaw chuck and 680 mm with universal flanges.
Environmental Conditions: Operate within +10 to +35 °C and 20 to 90% relative humidity.
Drive and Electrical Supply: Rotational speeds range from 0.0005 to 180 r.p.m. for TL020, 0.0005 to 90 r.p.m. for TL200, and 0.0005 to 50 r.p.m. for TL500. Power supply requirements are 230 V for TL020 and 400 V for TL200 and TL500.

Torque Transducer: The machines include an anti-rotation device and offer nominal torque options with varying accuracy classes based on ISO 7500-1 standards.

Note: Technical specifications are subject to change as part of ongoing development.
