    Brief

    This procurement seeks a fatigue-rated electromechanical (non-hydraulic) axial-torsional testing system capable of simultaneously applying and independently controlling axial and torsional loads. The system must support both static and dynamic testing across multiple loading modes including tension, compression, and combined axial-torsional configurations. Suppliers should demonstrate capability for precise, synchronized load application and control, reliability for extended fatigue testing cycles, and compatibility with standard test specimen fixtures and data acquisition systems.
