Pendulum Impact Tester
1. Function and Application
The Pendulum Impact Tester is designed to evaluate automotive seating systems for compliance with head impact requirements. It simulates realistic impact scenarios to verify that seats and headrests meet safety standards for occupant protection in crashes.
The tester is suitable for automotive manufacturers, seat suppliers, and crash safety laboratories, providing precise, repeatable impact measurements using a pendulum-style impact ram.
2. Applicable Test Standards
FMVSS 201 – Occupant protection in interior impact tests
ECE R21 (2020) – Head impact protection and safety requirements
Custom internal automotive seating safety protocols
