Bumper Pendulum

The Bumper Pendulum Test System is a robust and reliable impact testing solution designed to evaluate the energy absorption and impact resistance of automotive bumper systems under controlled pendulum-based conditions.

Built on a stiff steel structure, the system utilizes a weight-adjustable swinging basket to simulate real-world low-speed collision scenarios. It provides a simple yet highly effective method for assessing bumper performance in accordance with global automotive safety standards.

System Capabilities
  • Controlled Pendulum Impact Testing
    Generates repeatable impact conditions using a swinging mass, accurately simulating low-speed collision events.
  • Adjustable Impact Parameters
    Flexible configuration of impact height, mass, and angle to meet various testing requirements.
  • High Structural Rigidity
    Heavy-duty steel construction ensures minimal deflection and consistent test accuracy.
