Mechanical Stability Tester: A Tool for Stability Test of Electrical Appliance

In today's era, product quality and safety are the cornerstones of industry development. From daily home appliances to life-saving medical devices and complex industrial equipment, the mechanical stability of products, a key indicator of quality, has drawn unprecedented attention. The inclined plane is an important testing tool. Its core function is to accurately assess the stability of electronic devices under specific tilt angles and rotation conditions, providing valuable test data for enterprises.

Mechanical Stability Requirements in Product Standards

To fully ensure consumer safety during normal use and foreseeable misuse, and prevent mechanical injuries like being hit due to appliances turnover or sliding, international authoritative standard organizations have set detailed mechanical stability specifications for different types of products. Take common product fields as examples:

---In the home appliance field: The IEC60335 - 1 standard clearly states that appliances used on surfaces like the floor or table must have sufficient stability for daily safety.

---In the audio and video electronics field: The IEC60065 standard points out that devices weighing 7kg or more should have good stability. Also, after installing the provided or recommended feet, casters or brackets by the manufacturer, they should remain stable.

---In the luminaire product field: According to the IEC60598 - 1 standard, rough service luminaires should not overturn in all possible situations during normal use. Meanwhile, the fixing devices of the connected brackets should have sufficient mechanical strength.

---In the medical electronic equipment field: The IEC60601 - 1 standard requires that medical equipment or its components should not lose balance when placed on a slope at a 10⁰ angle to the horizontal plane in any transport position during normal use.
These strict standards not only reflect industry norms but also serve as important bases for enterprises to produce products meeting safety requirements. And the stability tester is a great helper for enterprises to meet these standards.

Stability Test Requirements and the Advantages of Our Inclined Plane

In actual stability tests, the standard usually requires placing the tested appliance on a horizontal plane, then adjusting the plane to the corresponding tilt angle (usually 10° or 15°), and controlling the turntable to rotate at a specified speed to carefully observe the stability performance of the specimen in different states. The inclined plane produced by Pego fully considers various test requirements in design and shows excellent performance advantages:

Flexible tilt angle adjustment: The inclined plane can be tilted within a wide range of 0 - 30°. The equipped 360° magnetic leveler can help users accurately adjust the tilt angle, ensuring the test environment meets the standard requirements and laying the foundation for obtaining accurate test data.

Customized tabletop design: The size of the plane can be customized according to the size of the specimen to meet the test needs of different products. At the same time, the steel plane has a strong load-bearing capacity up to 200KG. Whether it is a small electronic component or a large equipment unit, it can be easily carried to ensure the smooth progress of the test.

Diverse driving methods: The test bench is equipped with manual and electric driving rotation methods. Users can freely switch according to specific test scenarios and needs. This flexible operation mode not only meets the convenience of regular tests, but also can meet the precise control requirements under special test conditions, greatly improving the test efficiency and applicability.

The Great Significance of Mechanical Stability Testing

Mechanical stability testing runs through the entire life cycle of a product from research and development to market launch, which is of inestimable value to enterprises.

In the product research and development stage: For large home appliance manufacturers and emerging appliance R&D companies, the stability tester can help engineers timely detect the defects in product design. By simulating the tilt and rotation situations in actual use scenarios, it can accurately locate the problems, and then optimize the product structure to ensure that the product strictly meets the safety standards from the design source and lay a solid foundation for product quality and stability.

In the quality inspection stage: As the last line of defense for product quality before entering the market, mechanical stability testing can strictly screen out unstable products. It can effectively prevent safety accidents caused by product stability problems, reduce the risk of market recalls, and strongly maintain the enterprise's brand image and market reputation. After all, the stability of products is directly related to consumers' usage experience and life and property safety. Only products that pass strict tests can win consumers' trust and market recognition.

The stability tester, with its ability to accurately simulate specific tilt angles and rotation conditions, provides detailed and reliable test data for enterprises, helping them accurately evaluate product stability and playing a key role in ensuring product quality and safety.
