Torsion Testing on a Horizontal Frame
The NextGen GenTor is a computer controlled torsion tester built on a horizontal load frame. One grip turns, the other stays fixed and carries the torque sensor, so the specimen is twisted about its own axis while the frame takes the reaction. The horizontal layout lets long specimens sit unsupported between the grips, and the stiff frame keeps the frame's own wind up out of the reading.
The range covers five torque capacities, from 200 N·m to 6,000 N·m, on the same NDW-6000 platform. Torque comes from a sensor at the fixed grip and angle from an optical encoder, so the two are measured independently rather than one being derived from the other. We supply the machine with English testing software that records torque, yield torque, maximum torque, torque strength, angle and torsion speed while the test runs.

NextGen GenTor Technical Specifications
All five capacities share the NDW-6000 platform, so the accuracy, the angle measurement and the frame opening are the same across the range. What changes with capacity is the torque range and the space you get between the grips. Check the torque you need against the measuring range rather than the headline capacity: each machine is specified from 20% of its full range, so a 6,000 N·m frame is not the one to buy for a 30 N·m fastener.

How the GenTor Measures Torque and Angle
The machine is built from four parts: the host frame, the torsion angle measuring device, the measuring system and the computer. Torque and angle are read by separate instruments at opposite ends of the specimen, which is what keeps the drive train out of the result: the reducer and the motor sit behind the moving grip, while the sensor sits behind the fixed one.
A test runs through the following sequence:
1
The computer sends the test instruction to the control unit.
2
The control unit drives the servo motor. The moving grip turns through the reducer and puts the specimen into torque.
3
The torque passes along the specimen to the fixed grip, where the torque sensor reads it.
4
The sensor signal goes to the amplifying circuit in the control unit, then from analogue to digital.
5
An optical encoder measures the torsion angle at the same time, to a resolution of 0.1°.
6
Torque, angle and speed appear on the computer screen in real time, together with the test curve.
GenTor Testing Software
The software runs the test in closed loop, which means the machine holds the value you set rather than following a fixed motor speed. You can drive a test by constant rotation angle or by constant torque, hold a target once it is reached, and set how long that hold lasts. Torque control, torsion angle control and deformation control are all available, along with the test speed and the other control parameters.
On screen the software reports torque, yield torque, maximum torque, torque strength, angle and torsion speed while the test runs, and draws the curve as it goes. For a laboratory that has to repeat a method, that matters more than the peak number: the same target and the same hold time give the same test next week.

Materials the GenTor Tests
Torsion tells you something a tensile test cannot: how a part behaves when it is twisted rather than pulled. That is the loading a shaft, a fastener, a drill pipe or a wire rope actually sees in service, and it is where shear strength and the angle at failure matter more than elongation. The GenTor is used both for research work, where the curve is the result, and for quality control, where the pass mark is a torque or an angle.
Metals
Bar, wire and shaft stock, and finished metal parts loaded in torsion.
Non-Metals
Plastics and other non-metallic stock within the torque range of the frame.
Composites
Composite specimens, where torsion exposes the behaviour of the layup under shear.
Component Parts
Whole parts rather than machined specimens, gripped and twisted as they are used.
Whatever the specimen, it is held the same way. The frame opening in the table is quoted without grips, so the clear space you actually get between the jaws depends on which grips are fitted, and that is worth settling before the specimen length is fixed.
GenTor load frame: moving grip on the drive side, fixed grip over the torque sensor
Note: the distance between the grips is not the same on every capacity. The 200 and 500 N·m frames take specimens up to 19.7″ (500 mm) between grips, the 1,000 and 2,000 N·m frames up to 39.4″ (1,000 mm), and the 6,000 N·m frame is quoted on request. Measure your longest specimen before choosing a capacity.
Tell us the torque you need to reach, the length of your specimens and what you are gripping, and we will confirm which of the five capacities fits and which grips go with it. If you want the background first, our article on torsion analysis with the GenTor walks through the method, or request a quotation and our team will come back with a configuration.

FAQs
NextGen’s GenTor Torsion Tester has a relative repeatability error of torque of ≤±1.0% (from 20% of each full range). This specification indicates the level of variation or inconsistency that can occur in torque measurements when performing repeated tests within the specified torque range.
The ≤±1.0% relative repeatability error means that, when conducting multiple tests within 20% of each full range of torque capacity, the measured torque values should remain within a maximum deviation of ±1.0% from the average value. This level of repeatability ensures that the testing results are consistent and reliable, allowing for an accurate assessment of the material's torsional properties.
By minimizing repeatability error, NextGen’s GenTor Torsion Tester enhances torque measurements confidence and precision. This is particularly critical when evaluating materials that require highly accurate and repeatable torque data.

Surface Roughness Testers
NextGen Surface Roughness Testers are portable profilometer-style instruments for measuring surface texture on machined parts and manufactured components. They help evaluate parameters such as Ra, Rz, Rq, Rt, and related roughness values that influence wear, coating adhesion, corrosion resistance, fatigue behavior, and functional performance. Compact operation, digital filtering, LCD display, optional sensors, and accessory platforms make them suitable for shop-floor and laboratory surface inspection.
