Torsion Testing Machine
Product Code : LSK-MTE-10516
Torsion Testing Machine (SKU LSK-MTE-10516) is a compact bench machine that twists a specimen through a hand-turned worm gearbox and measures the resulting torque with a strain-gauged load cell. It is sized for classroom demonstrations and safe use by small groups in B.Tech, B.E. and diploma engineering labs. The machine is manufactured at the Science Lab Supplies plant, Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India; colleges, schools, tender contractors and distributors order it direct from there.
Specifications
A rigid alloy box-section frame on adjustable feet carries a 60:1 worm-drive strain head at one end and the torque reaction and measurement system at the other. The strain head platform moves and locks anywhere along the frame, and a keyed output shaft slides to follow any change in specimen length.

Applications and Experiments for the Torsion Testing Machine
Students turn the handle to twist a specimen and convert the load cell force into torque at each step, building a torque and twist record for the material. The machine fits the torsion of shafts topic in strength of materials practicals for mechanical and civil engineering degrees and polytechnic diplomas.
- Torque against angle of twist in the elastic range.
- Estimating modulus of rigidity from test results.
- Observing how a specimen responds as torque is increased step by step.
- Comparing specimens of different materials.
Standard Scope of Supply
The machine is supplied as one bench unit with its frame and adjustable feet, the 60:1 worm-drive strain head and handle, the torsion shaft with strain-gauged load cell and digital display, and hexagonal drive sockets in two sizes. Any other items appear on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations cover one machine or several for a full materials lab, and each sets out the packing, delivery time and price for the number requested. Tensile or fatigue machines from the same engineering lab equipment in India range can be priced together on it.
As a laboratory equipment exporter from India holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda. The business is registered under Udyam as a manufacturing enterprise (UDYAM-HR-01-0014546) and for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU).

Frequently Asked Questions
How is torque applied in the Torsion Testing Machine?
Students turn a handle on the input of a 60:1 worm-drive gearbox. The reduction lets them twist the specimen slowly and steadily by hand, with no motor.
How are specimens held?
In hexagonal drive sockets fitted on the gearbox output shaft and the torsion shaft; two socket sizes are supplied. The sliding keyed shaft makes insertion easy and allows for length change during a test.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
The company is the manufacturer. Its Saha, Ambala plant in India builds this machine, so each quotation comes from the maker itself.
Is it suitable for student use?
Yes. It is compact and designed for classroom demonstrations and safe use by small groups, with loading applied by hand through the gearbox.
