The durability tester is an instrument mainly used in the automobile industry for conducting durability tests on car seats. The test method involves conducting a cyclic endurance test on seat tilt gear motors, which are attached to the actual seats. They can be also be used for performing durability test on car seat heaters. Testing of basic materials and system components used for seat heaters is very important in automotive industry.
Durability testers can also be used for testing vehicle's key lock.
The equipment is simple to use and can be easily adjusted.

Working Principle

• The machine has two stations that perform a cyclic endurance test on the tilt gear motors of the seat that are fixed to the actual seats of the vehicle.
• One of the stations control an aggregation of electronic seats via a pre-programmed multiple position cycle, along with motor break down conditions. This is accomplished along with recording and controlling motor current.
• The second station accomplishes identical operations on a manually adjusted seat along with torque measurement.

Uses of Durability Testers
