Test Bench Structure
(1) The system consists of:
Test bench frame
Pedal fixture and mounting system
Drive unit and load box
Force and displacement sensors
Computer control system and data acquisition software
(2) Pedals are mounted in real vehicle positions on the bench.
(3) Drive and load mechanisms are pneumatically or electrically actuated to simulate pedal operation.
(4) Force and displacement sensors provide real-time data to the control computer, which monitors and stops the test automatically when limits are reached.

Operation Procedure
(1) Mount the pedal on the test bench in its actual vehicle position and secure the wire linkage.
(2) Adjust the cylinder position and air pressure to the required input force.
(3) Enter product information and set stop conditions in the computer system.
(4) Press start; the drive mechanism applies force to the pedal, moving the wire and load assembly.
(5) Force sensors measure cylinder output and load force; displacement sensors track movement.
(6) The computer calculates cycles and automatically stops the test when the count or force/displacement limits are reached.
Features
(1) Accurate simulation of real vehicle pedal operation.
(2) Automated data acquisition and real-time monitoring.
(3) Supports long-term durability testing with up to 999,999 cycles.
(4) Adjustable pedal travel and force range to accommodate different pedal designs.
(5) Automatic stop and protection when test conditions exceed limits.
(6) User-friendly PC interface for test setup, monitoring, and data export.
FAQ
(1) What types of pedals can be tested?
The tester can evaluate clutch pedals, brake pedals, accelerator pedals, and other automotive pedal assemblies for durability and performance.
(2) What is the maximum input force?
The pedal input force range is 120–2000 N and can be adjusted according to the type of pedal and test requirements.
(3) How long can the test cycles be set?
The number of cycles can be set from 1 to 999,999, meeting most durability testing requirements.
(4) Can the pedals be mounted in their actual vehicle positions?
Yes. Pedals can be installed on the test bench according to the actual vehicle position, ensuring realistic and accurate test data.
(5) How is the pedal durability monitored during testing?
The system uses force sensors and displacement sensors to monitor output force and displacement in real time. The computer automatically records data and stops the test when preset thresholds or cycle counts are reached.
