Torque Meter
A Torque meter is a force gauge for determining the torque. Torque gauges with separate sensors are suitable for torque measurements of screws, components, switches, drive shafts, etc., while desktop torque meters are used to check the opening and closing forces of screw caps on bottles, cans, cosmetics, etc.
Combining a desktop-torque meter with a motorized test stand gives you a torque testing machine for maximum accuracy, since it does not affect the measuring result by the operator. Due to the high measuring frequency of 2000 measurements / s peak values can be recorded exactly.
Every torque meter has an easy-to-read OLED display, with various selectable units of measurement and menu languages. The internal memory of a torque tester offers space for approx. 1000 measurements. All torque gauges are equipped with a USB and RS-232 interface, with which data can be transferred to a PC and evaluated.

Special Features
Special Features Torque Stand
- The motorized torque stand MTS can be configurated according the customers demand. The torque stand exists out of a test stand depending the sample height, a torque meter with different ranges and features as well as a upper chuck and lower table.
- The torque will be measured without influence by the operator. The results are more accurate and significant as measured with a manual device.
- 3 operation modes:
- Normal: Revolution occurs in the selected direction, until the stop-switch will be pressed.
- +NG Stop: Revolution occurs in one direction, until the adjusted value is reached.
- Endurance Test: Repeats the operation in two directions (open – close), within the adjusted limits (MTS series). The number of repeats are shown in the display. The opening and closing angle, as well as the number of repeats can be adjusted with torque stand MTS-RA series.
- The following information are shown in the display:
- Rotational speed e. g. 51.5 °/sec
- Status of the instrument
- Operation mode
- Counter for endurance test
- Max. size of samples:
