Testing of electrical switches and buttons
Universal testing machine inspekt table blue 5 kN
Electrical switches and buttons are essential components in almost every electrical device, from household appliances to industrial control systems. The reliable functioning of these components is crucial for safety and ease of use.
The inspekt blue 5 kN universal testing machine and special devices are used for testing:
- How high the actuating force is
- How long the switching travel is until the switch/button is triggered or released
The force is measured using high-precision load cells that can be individually adapted to the requirements of the test. To cover different force ranges, it is possible to mount several load cells at the same time. Alternatively, the force can be recorded via the voltage of an adapted measuring probe.
During the test, both the load during actuation and the change in voltage when the probe is released are measured. Connecting test leads to the switch/button enables direct feedback of the switching signal to the test procedure.
Flexibility and precision with the LabMaster testing software
The LabMaster testing software enables intuitive and precise control of the testing system. It offers:
- Automatic recording and evaluation of measurement data
- Flexible parameter settings for different test scenarios
- Synchronized display of force-displacement and switching signal curves
- Customized test protocols and data export in common formats
The user-friendly interface allows test procedures to be set up and repeated efficiently. In addition, all relevant data for quality assurance and documentation can be saved and further processed.
Conclusion
The inspekt blue 5 kN universal testing machine in combination with the LabMaster testing software is a powerful solution for testing electrical switches and pushbuttons. It offers precise force and length measurements, flexible customization options and intuitive test data evaluation - ideal for research, development and quality assurance.
