Torsion occurs primarily in axles and drive shafts in vehicles and machines. The torsional moments that occur in the shaft cause cross-sections of the shaft to be displaced relative to each other around the longitudinal axis. In a shaft, the twisting of the circular cross-sections ensures that the circles remain round. The cross-sectional areas remain flat; there is no warping. Non-circular cross-sections usually result in warping.
SE 200.10, in combination with other accessories of the MEC Line, enables the smart, digitally supported experimental setup for torsion on various bars. The experiment contains one clamping device and one torsion device. The torsion device contains a fixed measuring device for measuring the absolute angle of twist and the torsional moment. In addition, the angle of twist can be measured anywhere on the bar using a movable measuring device. Both measuring devices are equipped with electronic modules for data acquisition and measured value display. The experimental arrangement is set up in the SE 200 mounting frame. The stainless steel mounting frame provides direct and wireless data transmission and power supply for the smart components. The click system ensures that the components easily snap into place.
The bars are clamped without tools. The torsional moment is generated via the torsion device. The resulting twist can be read off the length of the bar. The fundamentals of elastic torsion are taught on the round bar. Four additional bars are available for studying special cases: 2 tubes, 1 flat profile and 1 U-profile.
The GUNT software displays the torsional moment and the angles and reacts dynamically to changes. The measured values are analysed in real time.
