The Bicycle Crankset Fatigue Testing Machine is designed and manufactured in accordance with EN 14764:2005 and ISO 4210:2014 bicycle testing standards. It is specifically developed to evaluate the fatigue strength and durability of bicycle crank arms, chainrings, and crankset assemblies.
The machine applies cyclic loads at the left and right pedal spindle positions through a servo-driven electric actuator, accurately simulating the repetitive pedaling forces experienced during actual riding. After a preset number of loading cycles, the crankset assembly can be inspected for fatigue damage, structural integrity, deformation, and wear, helping manufacturers verify product durability and compliance with international standards.
This equipment is widely used by bicycle manufacturers, crankset suppliers, testing laboratories, certification bodies, and R&D centers for product development, quality assurance, and compliance testing.
