Torque Test Stand TSTM-DC / TSTMH-DC

32-1100 REV 5

The TSTM-DC is an advanced motorized torque test stand, designed for a wide variety of applications
requiring up to 100 lbFin (11.5 Nm) of torque, including closure torque testing, fastener torque testing,
and more. A 200 lbFin (22 Nm) capacity upgrade is available as an option. The stand includes a torque
loading plate with tapped holes for grip and fixture mounting. Stepper motor design eliminates speed
variation with load. A lever-operated slider with travel stops makes engaging and disengaging samples
quick and efficient. A modular mechanical design allows the stand to be configured for a variety of
applications.

The TSTM-DC’s controller adds a significant amount of sophistication, including integrated angle
display and output, programmable angle travel limits, an extended speed range, PC control capability,
programmable cycling, auto return, overload protection, password protection, and other features.

Controller Features

n Computer Control

An 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 7i or 5i force/torque indicator

- 09-1162 multi-function cable

- 09-1056 serial cable

n Digital Angle Indication

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

n Programmable Angle Limits

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

n Overload Protection

Protects the torque sensor against overload (requires a Model 7i or 5i force/torque
indicator and 09-1162 multi-function cable). The user programs the desired percent­age of full scale of the sensor.

n Auto-return

The torque table rotates to an angle limit or torque set point (requires a Model 7i or 5i
force/torque indicator and 09-1162 cable), stops, and reverses direction at full speed
to the other angle limit or torque set point.
