This torsion testing module allows users to analyze the torsional behavior of rods made from different materials. Adjustable chucks enable precise angular deflection, with a potentiometer measuring twist and a load cell recording torque. It includes three rods (solid and hollow) for comparing torsional resistance, shear modulus (G), and stiffness. The modular design lets users vary rod length to study its impact on torque and deflection. Integrated with EDAQ software, it provides real-time data acquisition and analysis via USB. The package includes essential accessories, making it ideal for engineering education and research.
