Making Bicycle Accessories Durable – Realistic Endurance Testing with Vibration for Quality Assurance
The cycling industry is booming – from city commuters and mountain bikers to e-bike enthusiasts, the demand for reliable, long-lasting bicycles and high-quality accessories continues to rise. A German manufacturer of bicycles and accessories focuses on top quality. To ensure the durability of components such as phone holders or bottle cages, the company conducts endurance tests using vibration. Movements and vibrations of real rides are authentically simulated.
- Lack of realistic stress testing increases the risk of complaints
- Absence of efficient and reproducible testing methods
- Design and material optimisation is difficult without precise tests
The manufacturer conducts endurance tests using an NTK pneumatic piston vibrator. The wide adjustment range of the vibrator allows precise simulation of real riding movements, including shocks, vibrations, and oscillations. Endurance testing helps identify and eliminate weak points early.
- Efficient testing processes for series production
- Easy adaptation of the test rig to different accessories
- Improved product quality – reduced complaints
