Mecmesin are proud to introduce the Vortex
-d,
our new
motorised torque measurement system. The Vortex
-d
provides a versatile and accurate method of applying
torque at an affordable price.
The Vortex
-d
is a twin-column motorised torque
measurement system with a load rating of up to
10 newton metres (N.m), and a speed range of
0.1 to 20 revolutions per minute (rpm). It must not be used
with load ratings above 10N.m. Complemented by a
Mecmesin AFTI (Advanced Force/Torque Indicator) display
unit, ‘smart’ static torque transducer, and (if purchased)
upper and lower mounting tables, it constitutes a key
component in torque measurement systems suitable for
accurately testing a wide range of products. The Vortex-
d
enables a repeatable and constant test speed to be set, thus
reducing variability in test results which can arise from
operators manually performing tests at different speeds.
There is one standard model of the Vortex
-d
.
The dimensions, speed range and capacity have been
carefully optimised to cover the most common test
procedures and specimen sizes used by quality
departments throughout the manufacturing industry.
The Vortex
-d
has been designed and manufactured in a
controlled system to ensure compliance with all relevant
European Community Directives.
Before operating ensure that the Vortex
-d
has been
assembled as described on the next page entitled,
‘Installing the Machine’.
