Insulators and electrical connecting elements play a central role in energy and electrical engineering: they ensure the safe separation of live components, prevent leakage currents, secure cable routes, and protect against environmental influences. To ensure that these components function reliably throughout their entire life cycle – whether in high-voltage grids, electromobility, or sensitive electronic assemblies – standard-compliant, robust, and high-precision testing systems are essential.

Hegewald & Peschke offers a wide range of universal testing machines with different load ranges for this purpose. They cover tensile, compression, shear, and bending tests as well as endurance and fatigue tests. Thanks to a wide range of accessories and flexible expansion options, the systems can be optimally adapted to your individual testing tasks—from fine strands and cable lugs (20 kN) to high-voltage insulators and battery components (up to 600 kN).

An excerpt from our testing applications:

• Tensile and flex tests on cables, membranes, and seals
• Shear force tests on contacts and solder joints
• Pressure and creep tests on pipes and connecting elements
• High-load tests on high-voltage insulators
• Testing of contact elements, cables, and strands
• Testing on pipe insulation and cable clamps
• Battery tests for applications in energy and electromobility

Whether you are testing prototypes or series components, our testing systems for insulators and electrotechnical components ensure reliable, reproducible results in accordance with all relevant standards, thereby making a decisive contribution to the quality and safety of your products.
