The Bicycle Rim Runout & Durability Testing Machine is designed to evaluate the structural durability, lateral runout, braking performance, and dynamic riding characteristics of bicycle wheels and rims. The system complies with EN 14764:2005 and ISO 4210:2014 standards and is widely used by wheel manufacturers, bicycle OEMs, testing laboratories, and quality control departments.
The machine uses a large drive roller to rotate the test wheel under controlled loading conditions. A direct-weight loading system applies realistic vertical loads to accurately simulate actual riding conditions. By incorporating road obstacles and programmable speed control, the equipment can reproduce real-world cycling environments and evaluate wheel durability and performance.
The industrial computer control system provides automated testing, data collection, and result analysis, ensuring high repeatability and accuracy.
