Office chair armrest strength testing machine
PRODUCT DETAILS
Office Chair Armrest Strength Testing Machine – Ensure Ergonomic Safety & Durability
BIFMA X5.1, EN 1335, and ANSI/BIFMA Compliant Testing for Office Furniture Manufacturers
Our Armrest Strength Testing Machine rigorously evaluates the load capacity, fatigue resistance, and structural integrity of chair armrests, empowering brands to meet global safety standards and reduce product failure risks.
Core Features & Technical Excellence
Precision Testing Modes
- Static Load Test: Apply vertical forces up to 5000N (adjustable) to simulate user leaning.
- Cyclic Fatigue Test: 50,000+ cycles at 0.5–5 Hz frequency (customizable).
- Torsional Strength Test: Measure resistance to twisting forces (±90° rotation).
- Drop Impact Test: Optional module for sudden load simulation (e.g., 25kg free-fall).
Smart Control & Measurement
- Force Accuracy: ±0.5% FS with high-resolution load cells.
- Displacement Tracking: Laser-guided sensors (0.01mm resolution).
- Multi-Axis Control: Test vertical, horizontal, and angular forces simultaneously.
Automated Workflow
- Robotic Arm Integration: Auto-position armrests for batch testing (up to 20 samples/hour).
- Pre-Programmed Standards: BIFMA X5.1, EN 1335, GB/T 22894 presets.
- Real-Time Alerts: Detect cracks, deformation, or force drops exceeding thresholds.

FAQ
Q: Can it test adjustable armrests (height/tilt)?
A: Yes! Custom fixtures are available for dynamic armrest mechanisms.
Q: How to prepare samples?
A: Mount armrests per real-use conditions (e.g., attached to chair base or isolated).
Q: Is training included?
A: Free remote training + 24/7 video support.
Q: Can it simulate armrest “drop-in” forces?
A: Yes – integrate our optional impact module (e.g., 10–50 kg mass drops).
