Automobile Headrest Strength Tester

1. Product Overview

The Automobile Headrest Strength Tester is a precision testing system designed to evaluate the static strength and load-bearing performance of car seat headrests. By applying controlled static loads and measuring displacement, the system ensures headrests meet national and international safety standards. It is widely used by automotive OEMs, seat manufacturers, and testing laboratories for R&D, quality control, and certification purposes.

2. Product Features

Measures static strength of automotive headrests with high precision.

High load capacity (typically 500 kg or higher) to simulate real-world static conditions.

Accurate displacement measurement with high resolution (typically ±1%) to ensure reliable results.

Adjustable test speed (10–30 times/min) for flexibility in testing different headrest designs.

Supports both manual and computer-controlled automatic operation for enhanced accuracy and efficiency.

Equipped with stable support fixtures for securing the seat and headrest during testing.

Real-time data acquisition system for monitoring load, displacement, and other key parameters.

Comprehensive safety features including overload protection and emergency stop.

3. Applicable Standards

GB 11550-2009 – Automobile seat headrest strength requirements and test methods (China).

ECE R17, R21 – Economic Commission for Europe regulations on seat and headrest strength (Europe).

FMVSS – U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for headrest static strength (USA).

5. Optional Accessories

Adjustable mounting fixtures for different seat and headrest types

High-precision load cells for extended load range

Advanced data acquisition and analysis software

Protective covers and anti-vibration mounting base

Calibration kits for sensors and load devices

6. Operation Method & Maintenance

Operation Method

Secure the car seat and headrest on the test fixture.

Set test parameters including load capacity, displacement range, and test speed.

Start the test; the system applies static loads and records displacement and force in real time.

Analyze and export data for design evaluation, certification, or R&D purposes.

Maintenance

Inspect mechanical components, fixtures, and sensors for wear or damage.

Calibrate load cells and displacement sensors periodically to maintain accuracy.

Keep the control system and data acquisition devices clean and dry.

Check all connectors, cables, and safety devices before operation.

Lubricate moving parts as needed to ensure smooth and reliable operation.
