Drawer Rail / Swing Door Endurance
Reference Method: ISO 7070, EN 15338, ANSI/BIFMA X5.5
In the world of furniture manufacturing, smooth operation isn't just a luxury—it’s a requirement. Our drawer rail endurance testing ensures that your hardware can withstand years of repetitive use without failure, sagging, or loss of motion quality.
Why Endurance Testing Matters?
Every time a drawer is opened and closed, the rails undergo mechanical stress. Without rigorous testing, small defects can lead to significant warranty claims and brand damage. We simulate a lifetime of use in a matter of days to guarantee:
-
Load-Bearing Integrity: Testing performance under various weight capacities.
-
Cycle Longevity: Ensuring the mechanism survives thousands of open-close cycles.
-
Material Durability: Checking for wear and tear on bearings, lubricants, and coatings.
Our Testing Methodology
Our state-of-the-art testing facility utilizes automated pneumatic and servo-driven machinery to mimic real-world human interaction.
1. Cycle Testing (Standard & High-Intensity)
We set specific targets for opening and closing cycles (e.g., 50,000 to 100,000 cycles) to meet international standards such as BIFMA, EN, or ISO.
-
Current Progress Tracking: Real-time monitoring of completed vs. target cycles.
-
Adjustable Speeds: Customizable stroke speeds to simulate gentle or aggressive usage.
2. Load Capacity Analysis
We test rails under their maximum rated load to ensure the "soft-close" or "push-to-open" features remain functional and that the rails do not bend or "drop" over time.
3. Push/Pull Force Measurement
Using high-precision sensors, we measure the exact force (F) required to initiate movement. This ensures a consistent "user feel" throughout the product's lifespan.
