Axial-torsion testing machines help characterize biaxial mechanical properties of materials, both in static and dynamic conditions, which helps in choosing the right materials for different applications where components are exposed to axial torsion loading profiles. This requires material research for component design and material verification stages in numerous industries and research to meet safety requirements.
Fatigue life of biomedical materials and implants
Why choose HST?
To meet the challenges of axial-torsion testing, HST provides a range of axial-torsion machines that cover small implants made of compliant biomaterials, composites and high-performance metals and alloys. Our servohydraulic range provides mid to high axial and torque capacities, while the biaxial variants complete the range with smaller axial and torque capacities and an oil-free design, allowing labs that require a contamination free environment to conduct axial-torsion testing. HST biaxial systems also open up to testing the longevity of biomedical implants, from hip to orthopedic implants, as our systems can load specimens according to the biaxial stress profiles from actual data and measure the response of different materials and different component designs.
