Footwear is an indispensable part of our daily lives, especially athletic shoes, which provide comfort and protection during daily activities. In shoe production, one of the key factors determining product quality is the shoe's ability to withstand continuous use and flexing. This is where flexural resistance testing instruments come into play. Below, we introduce the flexural resistance testing instruments used for athletic shoes.

1. Shoe Flexing Tester

The shoe flexing tester is primarily used to test the flexing performance of finished shoes such as athletic shoes, casual shoes, and work shoes. By simulating the flexing movements of shoes during wear, it evaluates the shoe's flexing performance or assesses the extent of cracking. This equipment is widely used in shoe manufacturing companies, quality inspection institutions, and research organizations, playing a significant role in enhancing product quality and meeting market demands.

2. Working Principle

The working principle of the shoe bending tester is based on material mechanics and fatigue testing theory. A motor drives a mechanical arm or crank-connecting rod mechanism to cause the shoe sample installed on the test bench to undergo periodic bending at a predetermined angle and frequency. During the test, the device records and analyzes data such as the bending force, deformation amount, and failure mode of the shoe, providing a scientific basis for evaluating shoe performance.

3. Key Features  

(1) Body surface treatment: Utilizes DuPont powder from the United States, electrostatic spraying process, and high-temperature curing at 200°C to ensure long-term color retention.

(2) Mechanical components made of corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy and stainless steel materials;  

(3) LED-SLD806 integrated display control box with menu-based operation mode;  

(4) Precision variable-frequency drive motor for smooth operation and low noise;  

(5) One-button fully automatic testing for easy operation;  

(6) High-precision bearing selection for stable rotation and extended service life;  

(7) Dual-station vertical structure design for stable bending and high efficiency;  

(8) Adjustable front and rear clamping fixtures secured with threaded bolts for secure fixation;  

(9) Adjustable speed and angle, movable rear clamping fixture, and adjustable dimensions;  

(10) High-power industrial fan with strong suction force, and adjustable fixed-angle air nozzle direction.

4. The Importance of Whole Shoe Flexing Testers

(1) Ensuring Durability and Comfort

Poorly designed shoes can cause significant discomfort, leading to serious health issues. One of the most significant benefits of whole shoe flexing testers is that they help ensure the durability and comfort of shoes. By subjecting shoes to repeated flexing, testers can determine whether they can withstand normal wear and tear. This ensures that customers receive durable and comfortable shoes, providing long-term satisfaction.

(2) Consistency in Quality  

The whole shoe bending tester also helps ensure consistency in quality. By assessing its bending performance or examining its cracking extent, manufacturers can identify weaknesses in the design and make necessary adjustments to improve the quality of future products.

(3) Compliance with industry standards

The whole shoe bending tester is an important tool for ensuring compliance with industry standards. Most shoe manufacturers must adhere to industry standards, which specify the minimum durability and quality requirements for shoes. By using a whole shoe bending tester, manufacturers can ensure that their products meet these standards, thereby reducing the risk of product recalls, lawsuits, and negative publicity.

(4) Competitive advantage

A whole shoe bending tester can also provide manufacturers with a competitive advantage. Through quality testing, manufacturers can differentiate their products from competitors and establish a reputation for producing high-quality, durable shoes.
