Rope Fatigue and Flex Cycling Test Machine

Machine that cycles rope over a sheave under tension to find the bending fatigue life. Used for crane, winch and marine ropes in plastic and hybrid construction.

Specification

A loaded rope runs back and forth over a sheave of a defined diameter while cycles are counted. Fatigue endurance is the number of bends before a measurable strength loss or break. Variable sheave sizes simulate real use.

Features

• Variable sheave diameters
• Adjustable stroke and speed
• Load held by pneumatic cylinder
• Cycle counter with auto stop
• Heavy duty frame
