Flex Tester
All models of the Flex Tester are very similar and generally used for evaluating a fabric's (or leather's) resistance to flexing fatigue. They are bench top machines and normally built with fourteen test stations. Each station includes suitable clamps for attaching the test samples after they are rolled up.
All versions are operated in the same way. The operator loads as many stations as are desired by rolling each sample around the mounting barrels at either end and attaching them with the screw clamps provided. Note that the stations being loaded must be at full stroke. The desired number of test cycles is then entered on the cycle counter and the test is started. Once this desired cycle count is reached, the machine will automatically stop. Test samples are visually evaluated.
Features:
- Fourteen stations.
- Stroke Rate – 500 cycles per minute
- Stainless steel clamps and stainless steel shaft collar holding the specimens.
- Cycle counter with auto stop.
- 1/4HP motor.
- Lockable master on-off switch.
