Abstract
A torque measuring device has a torsion bar with effective length adjustable to show different energy absorption capability. One end of the torsion bar's effective length is held stationary while a torque from a torque controlled winding tool is applied to the other end through a one direction of rotation clutch. The actual torque applied to the torsion bar is measured after which the torque on the bar is released.
