Back Punch Impact Tester

A pneumatic back punch impact tester that checks the impact effect on the back of moulded plastic chairs — a 3.2 kg weight is driven onto the chair back by a pneumatic cylinder, with a trial counter.

  • Checks impact on the back of moulded plastic chairs
  • Pneumatic cylinder — 300 mm stroke, 40 mm diameter, solenoid valve
  • 3.2 kg impact weight with a trial counter
  • Four hard-chrome shafts, 1.5 m height; height adjustable

Overview

Chair-back durability, tested repeatably

Where the Seat Impact Tester loads the seat surface, the back of a moulded chair sees a different, lighter impact from occupants leaning back. This tester delivers a controlled, repeatable impact to the chair back and counts the trials, so manufacturers can verify design and wall thickness.

International Equipments builds a pneumatic back punch impact tester: a 300 mm-stroke, 40 mm-diameter cylinder with a solenoid valve drives a 3.2 kg weight onto the chair back, guided by four 1.5 m hard-chrome shafts, with a height-adjustable frame and a trial counter. A 5–10 kg/cm² compressor is arranged by the customer. Manufactured in Mumbai.

How the test works

Step by step

  1. Position the chairPlace the moulded chair with the back under the impact head.
  2. Set the heightAdjust the box height on the guide shafts to the back.
  3. Run trialsThe pneumatic cylinder drives the 3.2 kg weight onto the back; the counter logs each trial.
  4. InspectCheck the chair back for cracking or failure after the set number of trials.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does the back punch impact tester check?
The impact effect on the back of moulded plastic chairs — a 3.2 kg weight is driven onto the chair back repeatedly and the back is inspected for failure.
How does it differ from the seat impact tester?
The seat impact tester loads the seat with a heavier 18 kg weight; this tester loads the chair back with a 3.2 kg weight, matching the lighter impacts a chair back experiences in service.
Is a compressor included?
A 5–10 kg/cm² compressed-air supply is arranged by the customer; all other components are provided.
Can the height be adjusted?
Yes — the box holding the cylinder and solenoid valve is height-adjustable and lockable.
