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.
Compliance with Global Standards
The Bumper Pendulum Test System is designed to meet key international bumper testing regulations:
- ECE R42 – European bumper regulation
- FMVSS Part 581 – US bumper standard
- CMVSS 215 – Canadian safety standard
- GB 17354-1998 – Chinese bumper regulation
