Schildknecht Flexing Tester
The Schildknecht Flexing Tester is a precision instrument designed to evaluate the flex durability of coated fabrics. By simulating continuous mechanical bending at high frequency, it helps manufacturers understand how coatings and substrates behave under repeated stress. This ensures reliable performance for a wide range of coated textiles used in automotive interiors, protective equipment, tarpaulins, and other industrial applications.
Product Functions & Applications
Operating at 500 oscillations per minute, the tester provides fast, repeatable results for long-term flexing fatigue. It accommodates up to 10 specimens at a time, making it highly efficient for laboratory research, quality control, and material comparison.
Typical applications include:
Assessing cracking resistance of coated fabrics
Evaluating the durability of PVC, PU, rubberized materials
Quality inspection for outdoor, industrial, and technical textiles
Testing new coating formulations during R&D
Routine QC in textile and material research centers
A resettable electronic counter accurately records the number of flexing cycles, ensuring consistent and traceable results.
