Belt Flex Tester For Testing Lab Workshop.
Belt Flex Tester - For Testing Lab
Out-soles of footwear or other flexing components may suffer cracking
due to flexing in use. Cracks usually develop at points of high surface
strain resulting from the design of the sole pattern, without there
being any cuts due to grit etc. to initiate them.
The Belt Flex Tester
is designed to flex complete soles with their patterns intact in a way
similar to flexing in actual use. Tests carried out using it provide a
guide to the risk of such cracks developing during use.
In
this test, test specimens are attached to the outside of a continuous
belt, which is driven round two rollers. The larger roller drives the
belt, while movement of the belt round the smaller roller provides the
main flexing action. The radius of the smaller roller is chosen to make
the flexing either more severe or less severe than in actual use
