Static Load Testing Machine
The Static Load Testing Machine is designed for static tensile load evaluation of seats and seat-related components. The system provides a maximum load capacity of 10,000 lbf and is constructed with an extruded aluminum protective frame, incorporating tinned steel wire or clean polycarbonate safety panels. All access doors are equipped with electrical safety interlock systems to ensure operator protection during testing.
The machine is hydraulically driven and configured for stable static load application, making it suitable for safety performance verification and structural strength assessment of automotive seating systems and accessories.
Application
The Static Load Testing Machine is used for static tensile strength and load-holding performance evaluation of the following test products:
Automotive seats and seat frames
Seat tracks and mounting brackets
Seat belts and seat anchorage components
Seat adjustment mechanisms and structural accessories
The large specimen mounting area allows integration with a three-station automatic workbench, supporting multi-point testing and improving testing efficiency in automotive safety laboratories and manufacturing facilities.
Standards
The Static Load Testing Machine is designed with reference to the following international standards and testing practices:
(1) FMVSS 207 – Seating Systems
(2) FMVSS 210 – Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages
(3) ISO 10542 – Technical Systems and Aids for Disabled or Handicapped Persons — Wheelchair Tie-Down and Occupant Restraint Systems
(4) ISO 6549 – Road Vehicles — Procedure for H-Point Determination
(5) SAE J879 – Motor Vehicle Seat Systems
(6) GB 15083 – Motor Vehicle Seats, Seat Anchorages, and Head Restraints — Strength Requirements
