Hook-And-Loop Fastener Fatigue Tester China Manufacturer
Velcro Fatigue Tester is used to determine the anti-fatigue performance of touch and close fasteners by measuring the test sample’s peel strength or shear strength after being repeatedly opened and closed under controlled conditions.
Velcro tape is also called the hook-and-hoop fastener, which consists of 2 fabric strips which are attached to the opposing surface to be fastened. One strip has tiny hooks, and the other one has smaller loops. When the two are placed together, the hooks catch in the loops, and the two strips fasten temporarily. When pulling or peeling either one component, the strips produce an unusual “ripping” sound. It is widely applied to shoes, apparel, textiles, etc.
Velcro Fatigue Test Principle
The test strip with hooks and the test strip with loops are attached to the two rollers whose diameter are 162.5 mm and 160 mm separately, allowing the surface with hooks to contact the surface with loops. A specified load is applied according to the width. The lower roller is a driving wheel, which drives the upper driven roller to rotate back and forth repeatedly at a given velocity, ensuring that the hook and loop fasteners fixed on the rollers are continuously attached and peeled to achieve the purpose of fatigue. After a specified number of cycles, the two strips are removed from the rollers and cut each into a piece of 75 × 20 mm in size. The test pieces are rolled with the weight of the roller to make both fit evenly. The peeling strength or adhesive strength is measured using a universal tensile testing machine.
