The 4-Station Air Pump Life Cycle Testing Machine is an automated durability and reliability testing system designed for evaluating the long-term performance and service life of various air pumps, including portable inflators, automotive air compressors, miniature air pumps, industrial pneumatic pumps, and medical air pumps.

The system simulates real-world operating conditions through programmable ON/OFF cycling, pressure cycling, and constant-pressure endurance testing. Equipped with intelligent computer control and automatic data acquisition, the machine enables continuous unattended testing while providing accurate performance monitoring and complete data traceability.

Key Features

4-Station Simultaneous Testing

The machine supports simultaneous testing of up to four air pumps, significantly improving testing efficiency and throughput for both R&D laboratories and production quality control departments.

Programmable ON/OFF Life Cycle Testing

Users can freely set:

• X minutes ON

• X minutes OFF

The system automatically repeats the programmed cycle, accurately simulating long-term product operation and start-stop conditions.

Pressure Cycling Endurance Test

The equipment can automatically control air pumps between user-defined pressure points.

Features include:

• Custom start pressure setting

• Custom target pressure setting

• Automatic inflation

• Automatic pressure release

• Automatic cycle repetition

The integrated solenoid valve automatically releases pressure, and the air pump can be configured to stop operating during the venting process.

Constant Pressure Life Test

Supports long-duration endurance testing under constant pressure conditions, allowing manufacturers to evaluate product stability and reliability during continuous operation.

Automatic Data Acquisition

All testing data is automatically recorded by the computer control system.

Data recording frequency:

• Up to 1 sample per second

This enables detailed monitoring and analysis throughout the entire test cycle.

Intelligent Safety Protection

To ensure safe operation, the system automatically stops testing when abnormal conditions occur, including:

• Overcurrent conditions

• Cycle timeout

• Product malfunction

• System abnormalities

This protects both the test sample and the testing equipment.

Complete Data Traceability

All test results are automatically stored for future analysis and reporting.

Recorded data includes:

• Inflation cycle count

• Inflation time

• Maximum operating current

• Pressure cycle information

• Test status records

Test Functions

• ON/OFF endurance testing

• Pressure cycling life testing

• Constant pressure endurance testing

• Maximum current monitoring

• Inflation time measurement

• Cycle count recording

• Reliability verification testing

Technical Specifications

Applications
