Wire Swing Bending Tester

The Wire Swing Bending Tester is designed to simulate bending and swinging conditions that wires may encounter during actual use, such as automotive wires, power cords, and USB cables. By adjusting parameters like bending angle, swing frequency, and test duration, the tester evaluates the durability and reliability of wires under repeated mechanical stress.

Application

(1) Automotive wiring harness testing – assess bending fatigue and durability of automotive wires.
(2) Power cord quality evaluation – ensure long-term mechanical reliability.
(3) USB and data cable testing – simulate repeated use conditions.
(4) Electrical appliance wiring – evaluate insulation and mechanical integrity.
(5) R&D laboratories – test new insulation materials for bending and fatigue resistance.

Standards

(1) UL 817 – Standard for cord sets and power-supply cords
(2) VDE 0620 – Standard for flexible cables for household appliances
(3) GB 2099 – Chinese standard for household and similar electrical wires
