• Range: 3 N.m (26 lbf.in)
• Specially adapted to the Vortex-i and -xt test systems
• Fitted with a 3/8" male square drive for connection to a range of fixing tables and chucks

The Vortex-i and Vortex-xt automated torque testers have been helping professionals worldwide to objectively assess the quality of their components and assembled products for more than 20 years.

They have become the accepted testers in industries as diverse as food and drink, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and automotive.

They are ideally suited to a packaging manufacturer wishing to assess the bridge torque of a tamper-evident closure right through to an automotive controls designer looking to perfect the ‘feel’ of a rotary switch.

The motorised Vortex-i is controlled by software running on a computer, and the Vortex-xt uses a touchscreen console to host the software. They deliver both consistency and reliability by holding the critical test parameters of torque, angle and speed. The inherent variability found when using a manual torque tester is almost entirely removed.

The ITC range of interchangeable torque sensors is specially adapted to the Vortex-i and -xt. They plug into the frame, and the tester immediately recognises their calibration characteristics without any input from the operator.

Five different sensors are available with nominal capacities ranging from 0.3 N.m to 10 N.m. This ensures the optimum selection to meet all your torque testing needs. Measurement accuracy is an outstanding ±0.5% of the sensor capacity.

Each sensor is delivered as a standard with its calibration certificate traceable to national averages.
