Reliant Lab Torsion Apparatus (Searle’s Type) 1 Meter

• Product Type : Searle’s Type
• Size : 1 Meter Long

Features

• Extended 1 Meter Capacity: The 100 cm frame allows for the testing of longer rods, which results in larger, more easily detectable angular twists for a given torque.
• Precision Dual Scale System: Equipped with two high contrast circular scales and vernier pointers to measure differential twist across a defined length of the specimen.
• Heavy Duty Construction: Built with seasoned cast iron brackets and a rigid steel frame to ensure zero structural deflection during high load testing.
• Frictionless Ball Bearing Pulley: Features a precision machined pulley that ensures the applied weights translate into pure torque without loss due to friction.

Applications

• Torsional Stiffness Analysis: Evaluating how the length of a shaft (up to 1 meter) influences its resistance to twisting forces.
• Elastic Limit Studies: Determining the point at which different metal rods transition from elastic to permanent plastic deformation.
• Material Comparison: Quantifying the performance difference between cold-rolled steel, hard brass, and annealed copper under torsional stress.
• Engineering Labs: A foundational experiment for mechanical and civil engineering students to understand shear stress and polar moment of inertia.
• Verification of Torsion Equations: Providing empirical data to validate the mathematical relationship between torque, length, and angular displacement.
