Automobile Headrest Strength Tester，Automotive seat headrest impact strength testing machine
The Automobile Headrest Strength Tester is designed to evaluate the ultimate strength and durability of automotive headrest assemblies in accordance with FMVSS 202 requirements.
Application
It enables simultaneous testing of up to three headrest assemblies on a single bench seat, ensuring compliance with automotive safety and durability standards.
This tester is available in both Hydraulic and Electric configurations and is equipped with a floor-standing, PC-based Control and Data Acquisition System. The system operates on 115 V.A.C. power (other voltages available) and provides precise control, monitoring, and recording of test data.
Standards
(1) FMVSS 202 – Head Restraints: Strength and Positioning Requirements
(2) GB 11550-2009 – Strength Requirements and Test Methods for Automobile Headrests
(3) ECE R17 – Seats, Their Anchorages and Head Restraints
(4) ECE R21 – Interior Fittings (head restraint-related requirements)
