advanced motorized torque TEST STAND
MODEL TSTM-dc / TSTMH-DC

The TSTM-DC Advanced Motorized Torque Test Stand offers all the mechanical specifications of the TSTM motorized test stand, including 100 lbin (11.3 Nm) torque capacity, versatile modular design, quick engagement and disengagement of samples, fixture mounting plate, stepper motor design that prevents speed variation with load, and more. The TSTM-DC offers expanded capabilities, including full PC control, programmable angle limits, programmable cycling, auto return, and other features.

• Computer Control

  A bi-directional RS-232 port is provided to interface with a PC. A command set is provided to allow for full control from a PC.

  The following are required with PC control:

  - Model BGI force/torque gauge (more info)

  - 09-1056 serial cable (see below)

  - 09-1143 multi-function cable (see below)

• Digital Angle Indication

  Rotational travel is indicated in degrees or revolutions, with RS-232 output of angle data.

• Programmable Angle Limits

  The TSTM-DC can stop at or cycle between programmable upper and lower angle limits. Programmable in degrees or revolutions.

• Overload Protection

  Protects the torque sensor against overload (requires a Model BGI force/torque gauge and 09-1143 multi-function cable). The user programs the desired percentage of full scale of the sensor.

• Auto-return

  The torque table rotates to an angle limit or torque set point (requires a Model BGI force/torque gauge and 09-1143 cable), stops, and reverses direction at full speed to the other angle limit or torque set point.

• Cycling / Dwell Time

  Same as Auto-return, but with the ability to program the number of cycles up to 99,999 cycles. Dwell time allows the operator to program the length of time, up to 9,999.9 seconds, in 0.1 second intervals, for which the torque table pauses between cycles. Independent CW and CCW speeds may be programmed.

• Programmable Button Functions

  Expands CW and CCW button operation to three user-configurable modes:

  1. Maintained (standard): short push produces continuous motion until STOP is pressed

  2. Momentary: torque table rotates only while the button is pressed

  3. Auto: short push produces maintained motion, while holding the button down will produce momentary motion

• Independent CW and CCW Speeds

  Configurable speeds for CW and CCW directions.

• Selectable speed units of measurement (RPM and °/s)

• Password protection

  Prevents unauthorized changes to test parameters.

* For 220V operation add suffix E to model number. Ex: TSTM-DCE

The TSTM-DC / TSTMH-DC is supplied with a wrench set.
