How running torque is measured
Running torque is typically measured using precision torque sensors mounted within a controlled test stand. The component under test is rotated at a defined speed, and torque is measured continuously during motion.

Interpreting breakaway test results
Understanding test outputs is as crucial as conducting the tests themselves.
Slip torque vs bridge torque
Slip torque reflects the resistance encountered before rotation begins—a measure of seal integrity and usability.
