TorsionLine TL 1000 / TL 2000 Torsion Testing Machine

Product catalog summary

Range of Application: The TorsionLine TL1000 and TL2000 torsion testing machines are designed to evaluate the torsional effects on various materials and components. The testing axis is horizontally oriented, making it suitable for testing plastics, metals, medical engineering products, fasteners, composites, drive shafts, propeller shafts, motor/engine bearings, and camshafts.

Advantages and Features: These machines offer maximum stiffness for precise high rotation angle measurement across the torque range. They utilize maintenance-free AC servo drives and can be operated with a standard PC or laptop using testXpert® II software. The design supports production, quality assurance, and R&D, with flexible handling and operation through advanced software control. Safety is ensured with an electrical interlock compliant with CE standards, and a wide range of optional accessories is available from ZwickRoell.

Product Specifications: The TL1000 and TL2000 models have a torque capacity of 1,000 Nm and 2,000 Nm respectively. Both models share dimensions, with an overall height of 1650 mm, width of 2580 mm, and depth of 843 mm. The machines weigh 1400 kg and feature an electrically interlocked safety device. They operate within an ambient temperature range of +10 to +35 °C and a relative humidity of 20 to 90%. The noise level is maintained at 62 dB(A).

Drive and Performance: The rotational speed ranges from 0.0005 to 20 r.p.m for TL1000 and 0.0005 to 10 r.p.m for TL2000, with angle resolution of 0.5 and 0.2397 arcsec/digit respectively. The positioning repeat accuracy is ≤5 arc-seconds at 1000 °/min, and play at zero torque crossing is < 5 arc-minutes.

Electrical and Torque Transducer Details: Both models require a 400 V, 3 Ph/N/PE electrical supply with a power consumption of 5 kVA and frequency of 50/60 Hz. The torque transducer for TL1000 has a nominal torque of 1000 Nm with an accuracy class of ≥10 Nm, while TL2000 has a nominal torque of 2000 Nm with an accuracy class of ≥20 Nm, based on ISO 7500-1 standards.

Note: Technical specifications are subject to change as part of ongoing development. All data provided is at ambient temperature.
