Torbal 901101 STV Test Stand, Hand-Wheel Operated, 100 lb

The Torbal STV Test Stand is designed for both compression and tension testing of small components and materials. It is commonly used in quality control laboratories, manufacturing facilities, research centers, and educational institutions to test product strength, spring force, packaging integrity, connectors, and other components that require controlled force measurements up to 100 lbf (500 N).

Using the STV Test Stand provides much greater consistency and repeatability than manual testing alone. The hand-wheel mechanism moves the force gauge in controlled 3 mm (0.12 in) increments per revolution, helping operators apply force smoothly and reducing variations caused by hand movement. This results in more accurate and repeatable test data.

The STV Test Stand is designed to work with Torbal FC and FB Series force gauges. Its mounting system allows the force gauge to be installed quickly, creating a stable testing setup for both push and pull force measurements across a wide range of industrial and laboratory applications.

The STV includes a built-in digital caliper for monitoring travel distance and offers a maximum 13-inch (335 mm) vertical travel. Combined with its rigid metal construction and precision hand wheel, these features allow users to position samples accurately and perform controlled, repeatable force tests with confidence.

The STV Test Stand is an excellent choice for manufacturers, product development teams, calibration laboratories, educational institutions, and quality assurance departments that require reliable manual force testing. It is particularly useful when repeatable compression and tension measurements are needed without the cost or complexity of a motorized testing system.
