IEC 60245-2 Flexible Cable Bending Test Machine Two & Three Pulley Cable Flexing Tester
The IEC 60245-2 Flexible Cable Bending Test Machine is a professional testing system designed for evaluating the mechanical durability, flexing resistance, and bending strength of flexible cables and cords. The equipment fully complies with the requirements of IEC 60245-1, IEC 60245-2, IEC 60227-1, IEC 60227-2, and IEC 63294 standards.
The tester adopts an advanced PLC + Industrial PC control system, enabling automated operation, real-time monitoring, intelligent fault detection, data recording, report generation, and network connectivity. By switching between two-pulley and three-pulley fixtures, the equipment can perform comprehensive cable flexing tests for various cable structures and conductor configurations.
It is widely used by cable manufacturers, quality inspection laboratories, certification bodies, TUV laboratories, VDE laboratories, UL testing centers, research institutes, and electrical product manufacturers.
- IEC 60245-1:2008 Clause 5.6.3.1
- IEC 60245-2:1998 Clause 3.1, Figure 1, Clause 3.5, Figure 6
- IEC 60227-1 Clause 6.6.3.2
- IEC 63294:2021 Clause 6.6
- IEC 60227-2 Clause 3.1, Figure 1
Suitable for testing:
- Flexible power cords
- Rubber insulated flexible cables
- PVC insulated flexible cables
- TUV certified cables
- VDE certified cables
- UL certified flexible cords
- Multi-core flexible cables
- Industrial control cables
- Appliance power supply cords
The test specimen is a 5-meter-long finished flexible cable. During testing, the cable repeatedly moves back and forth through a pulley system within a 1-meter travel stroke, producing continuous bending stress.
The machine can perform:
- Two-wheel bending test
- Three-wheel bending test
Different bending methods are achieved by changing the corresponding pulley fixtures and adjusting the operating speed according to the applicable IEC standards.
Real-time detection of:
- Conductor interruption
- Core-to-core short circuit
- Cable-to-pulley short circuit
- Electrical continuity failure
Automatic sound and light alarm system included.
