    Features HTGS/HTGA is an instrument for many purpose of torque measurement with useful functions and high usability. HTGA is advanced model and there is function of input and output of angle from angle scale and rotary encoder. Organic EL display, on-demand multi display and information in English lead easy operation. The high speed data sampling (2000 data / sec.) also helps more accurate measurement even for the measurement of sudden force change such as destruction test.
