Motorised Test Systems

The Vortex-d is our entry-level system for straightforward torque tests

The Vortex-d range is a basic motorised torque test system for measuring static and rotary torque up to 10N.m, and combines with Mecmesin's universal display to ensure repeatable, accurate results. Though simple to operate, the Vortex-d range benefits from many advanced test features to meet common testing requirements.

Key benefits of our motorised systems include;

User-friendly intuitive keypad interface

The keypad is designed to make testing as simple and quick as possible. A large LCD screen clearly displays clockwise/counter-clockwise speeds and displacement data.

Simple keypad interface for quick and easy test operation

 

A selection of transducers to suit every torque test

Flexible 'Smart' transducer selection

Choose from 1.5, 6 and 10N.m transducers, which are easily interchangeable (plug-and-play) to accurately assess between delicate and robust applications.

 

Precision speed controller

Digitally controlled speed selection

Easily adjust speeds in small increments, then lock this function to avoid accidental adjustment before and during the test.

 

 

 

Top-load capability

Top-loading Capability
