Digital Torsion Testing Machine (Product Code: SLE/CE/110) is a motorised test machine used to twist round and flat bar specimens while recording torque and angle of twist, in strength of materials and civil engineering laboratories. Engineering colleges use it to study torsional strength and shear behaviour, and it is listed in five capacities from 100 Nm to 2000 Nm with ± 1% torque accuracy. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM producing lab equipment for technical institutes, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

In a torsion test the specimen is clamped at both ends and one grip is turned slowly by the geared motor while the torque cell measures the resisting torque and the encoder tracks the angle of twist. Plotting torque against angle shows the elastic region, the onset of yielding and the maximum torque before fracture, from which students work out the modulus of rigidity and torsional strength. It connects classroom theory on shafts and twisting members with real material behaviour.
Choose a capacity so that the expected failure torque falls between 4% and 100% of the machine rating, the band in which the ± 1% accuracy applies. Measure specimen diameter or thickness before clamping, set the grip spacing to suit the specimen length, and connect the DAS panel to a PC when you want to keep torque-angle records for reports. The machine needs a 3 phase, 440 V supply, so check the laboratory wiring in advance.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Digital Torsion Testing Machine. The machine is built at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, so colleges deal directly with the maker rather than a reseller.
Universities, polytechnics, testing laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets are supplied factory-direct, and questions about grips, spare parts or additional machines go straight to the manufacturer — just ask us. The ScienceLab company profile explains more about the company.

What torque capacities does the Digital Torsion Testing Machine come in?
The Digital Torsion Testing Machine is listed with maximum torque capacities of 100, 200, 500, 1000 and 2000 Nm, with torque resolution from 0.01 Nm on the smallest model to 0.2 Nm on the largest. Choose the capacity that suits your strongest specimens.
How accurate is the Digital Torsion Testing Machine?
The Digital Torsion Testing Machine measures torque with a torque cell to ± 1% accuracy between 4% and 100% of machine capacity, and reads the angle of twist through a rotary encoder to 0.1 degree, both shown on the DAS display.
What specimens can the Digital Torsion Testing Machine grip?
The Digital Torsion Testing Machine has grips for round bars of 4–50 mm diameter and for flat bars in the 2–60 mm range, with a distance between grips of up to 400 mm on the smallest model and up to 1000 mm on the largest.
Can torsion test data be saved to a computer?
Yes. The Digital Torsion Testing Machine has a facility for connecting its Data Acquisition System panel to a PC, while the LCD on the panel shows torque and angle of twist live during the test. Tell us your PC setup when you request a quote.
What power supply does the Digital Torsion Testing Machine need?
The Digital Torsion Testing Machine runs on a 3 phase, 440 V, 50 Hz supply through an AC motor. The motor rating is not stated in the current listing, so ask us to confirm it for the capacity you choose before planning the installation.
Who manufactures the Digital Torsion Testing Machine?
The Digital Torsion Testing Machine is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied factory-direct to colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers.
