Torsion test bench

A torsion test bench enables the dynamic testing of mechanical engineering components for twisting (torsion). In mechanical engineering, many components are exposed to high loads, such as clutches or drive shafts in vehicle technology. With a torsion test stand, these components can be subjected to alternating loads under real conditions. In connection with the high frequencies, a large number of load cycles can be simulated in a very short time.

At HOMRICH you will find the perfect solution for your individual testing requirements.

We offer you with our HSR series a reliable technology that has been tried and tested for decades. This enables high torques from 400Nm to 110,000Nm. Based on the version the swivel angle is up to 110° or 120°. Depending on the size, the swivel angle and the hydraulic supply, high frequencies of up to 50Hz can be achieved. 

Advantages:

• high torques up to 110,000 Nm
• angle of rotation up to 110°/120°
• high frequencies up to 50 Hz
• precise loading
• robust and reliable
• low investment costs
• component optimization
• rapid prototyping
• development of new geometries and materials

Possible test components:

• couplings
• drive shafts
• cardan shafts
• axles
• tube
• flanges
• joints

What characterizes a good torsion test bench?

In addition to good design, the development of new machine components also requires solid strength calculations in order to meet market requirements and avoid downtime. In times of efficiency optimization and resource saving, ever lighter and structurally optimized components are being designed and manufactured. The calculation of the fatigue strength is becoming more and more complex and time-consuming. In addition, the loads on the components can vary in intensity in reality. Torque and load peaks make an accurate service life calculation considerably more difficult. As a result, many companies fall back on their many years of practical experience in order to guarantee the customer the reliability of their components. Torsion test benches are ideal for further optimizing the component geometry and material properties in product development in the future. The precise application of real loads enables precise studies of the fatigue strength of a newly developed component.

Hydraulic supply and measurement technology
