Office Chair Backrest Tensile Strength Testing Machine

Product Overview

The Office Chair Backrest Tensile Strength Testing Machine is a specialized device designed to evaluate the durability, load-bearing capacity, and safety performance of office chair backrests under simulated real-world conditions. It replicates repetitive tensile stress, static loads, and dynamic forces to ensure compliance with international ergonomic and safety standards (e.g., BIFMA, ISO, EN). This machine helps manufacturers assess backrest longevity, optimize structural design, and prevent failures in critical support areas.

Key Features

Comprehensive Testing Modes:
- Static Load Testing: Applies a fixed vertical/horizontal force to measure maximum tensile strength.
- Dynamic Fatigue Testing: Simulates repetitive pulling (e.g., 10–50 cycles/min) to assess long-term durability.
- Multi-Axis Testing: Evaluates stress distribution across the backrest frame, including armrest connections and lumbar support.
High Precision & Customization:
- Adjustable load range (100–1000 N) and speed (1–50 cycles/min) to mimic diverse usage scenarios.
- Configurable test angles (0–180°) to evaluate backrest stability during different user postures.
Advanced Safety & Accuracy:
- Overload protection, emergency stop function, and automatic shut-off to prevent mechanical failure.
- High-precision load cells (±0.5% accuracy) and linear encoders for displacement measurement.
User-Friendly Operation:
- Touchscreen HMI with preloaded test protocols (BIFMA X5.1, EN 1335) and customizable parameters.
- Real-time data display, automatic failure detection, and exportable reports (CSV/Excel/PDF).
