Torsion drives can be installed in zwicki-Line materials testing machines to carry out single and multi-axial loading tests (tensile or compression combined with torsion) during materials and component testing.

• Modular design allows torsion drive retrofitting at any time.
• Torsion drive can be mounted on the moving crosshead (optionally on top crosshead).
• The torque cells can be combined with a load cell (tensile and compression), which must be capable of accepting the torque involved.
• Both test axes can be synchronized via the software.
• High-resolution twist angle measurement allows excellent repeat accuracy.
• Uses testControl measurement and control electronics.
