IEC 60884-1 Torque Test Device for Plug Socket Cord Anchorage Cable Sheath Wear Test

Product Description

This Cord Anchorage Torque Testing Device is designed for testing the mechanical durability and wear resistance of plug and socket cable connections, especially focusing on the strain relief area. It fully complies with multiple international standards, including IEC 60884-1:2006 clause 23.2, IEC 60335-1 clause 25.15, and VDE 0620 table 18.

The equipment simulates real-world stress conditions by applying calibrated torque through a system of weights and a force arm, ensuring reliable verification of cord anchorage performance and protection against twisting or pulling forces.

Features & Construction

Utilizes a disc torque mechanism with multiple calibrated weights to simulate torque from 0.1 to 0.425 N·m.

Made of a compact and durable design with dimensions of 300×200×300mm (W×D×H).

Built-in adjustable fixture (60mm horizontal & vertical opening) for easy sample setup.

Clear operation steps with adjustable test cycles (up to 9999 times) and a default setting of 100 cycles.

Ideal for plugs, mobile sockets, fixed socket outlets, and cord connector assemblies.
