Vertical torque tester - DRIVETORK CC

Designed for measuring screwing torque

To measure torque accurately, it is necessary to regulate the test speed for repetitive results. The Drivetork, vertical torque bench makes it possible to perform torque measurements by avoiding the influence of an operator, thanks to regulated rotation at a constant speed.

The Drivetork torque tester allows you to test a variety of samples but it is particularly suited for screwing tests: caps, flasks, bottles, screws and nuts. Its measuring head has a transitional axis allowing you to move up and down freely during the torque measurements.

Main specifications of the Drivetork

Vertical torque bench for measuring up to 12 Nm (100 in-lb). It can measure clockwise and counterclockwise.

Semi-automatic control by console or automatic by computer.

Speed range from 1 to 10 revolutions per minute. (other speeds available upon demand)

Range of accessories available for cap testing.

Its compact format and design is suitable for food or pharmaceutical production.
 

Accurate measurement chain

The Drivetork is equipped with two high-precision sensors: a torque sensor and an angle sensor. These two sensors are perfectly aligned to guarantee the quality of the measurements in the sample axis.

The torque sensor is the sensitive element of the Drivetork. This sensor is available in different capacities depending on the measuring range on which it is used. The Drivetork can perform torque measurements from a few mNm (oz in) up to 12Nm (100 in-lb). These sensors are interchangeable and automatically recognized by the Drivetork. Therefore, it is possible to have several torque sensors to cover all measuring ranges. The accuracy of torque sensors is 0.5% of full scale. It is recommended to use them between 10% and 90% of their capacity.

The angle sensor: measures incrementally with a resolution of 0.1 °. Adjusted directly on the axis of rotation, it aligns perfectly with the sample to ensure an accurate measurement of the angle.
