A torsiograph (from French torsion - twisting, torsion and Greek. Γραφο (grafo) - I write) is a device for measuring and recording torsional vibrations of shafts.
Device
- A mechanical torsiograph consists of a flywheel mounted so that it can rotate on a shaft whose vibrations are measured, and is connected to it by a torsion spring . Relative rotations of the flywheel are recorded by the tip of the spring lever on the tape, which is located in the tape drive mechanism.
- Optical for measurements, an optical sensor and a special reflective tape are used.
