This article elaborates on the overview, working principle, functions, technical advantages and application of the Pego IEC60065 plug torque test device.
1. Device Overview
The IEC60065 plug torque test device is a professional testing equipment used to detect whether the mechanical stress generated by the plug of a plug-in device when inserting into a socket complies with safety standards. Its core purpose is to quantify the torque value to prevent the plug from exerting excessive stress on the socket, avoiding safety hazards (such as socket deformation, poor contact, or electrical failures) caused by mechanical damage.
2. Detailed Working Principle
The device simulates the mechanical stress in actual use scenarios through the following mechanisms:
2.1 Core of Mechanical Simulation:
Taking the horizontal axis 8 mm behind the mating surface of the output socket and passing through the centerline of the socket hole as the fulcrum, the balance arm acts around this axis to accurately replicate the torque effect when the plug is inserted.
2.2 Weight Apply:
When the plug is inserted into the socket, place the weight on the balance arm, and move the weight to keep the arm balance, then calculate the torque value. The max. Torque is 2.5N/m.
