The EN Sole Bending Tester is designed to measure the fatigue resistance and flex resistance of sole materials after repeated bending. It simulates the 90° bending stress of shoe soles during walking to evaluate the durability and crack resistance of shoe soles/outsole, complying with European standards including EN 344, EN ISO 20344 and EN ISO 17707.

Widely applied in shoe factories, shoe material manufacturers, quality inspection institutions and scientific research institutes, it supports simultaneous testing at 3 stations with high efficiency.

• Fix the sole sample on the fixture and cut 3 small cuts at the line of maximum bending stress
• Perform repeated bending at a bending angle of 90° and a set speed
• After reaching the preset number of cycles, inspect the degree of cracks, delamination, fracture and elongation with a magnifying glass
• Evaluate the flexing resistance life based on inspection results

• Various types of shoe soles: outsoles and midsoles made of rubber, PU, PVC, EVA, TPR, leather and other materials
• Finished shoes or sole components such as safety shoes, work shoes, casual shoes and sports shoes
• R&D material testing, mass production sampling inspection, delivery inspection and third-party testing

• Standard Compliance: Strictly complies with EU testing standards such as EN 344, and test data is applicable to export quality inspection
• Three-Station High Efficiency: Simultaneously tests 3 samples, boosting mass testing efficiency by more than twice
• Programmable Control: Adjustable bending speed and cycles, with automatic counting and shutdown functions to reduce human errors
• Precision & Stability: Adopts aluminum alloy and stainless steel body for low noise and long service life; high-precision bearings ensure smooth operation
• Easy Operation: Quick clamp replacement design enables convenient sample loading and unloading; transparent protective door ensures visible and safe operation

The product is shipped with an operating instructions and video of English version, or we will send you an operation video to teach you how to install and use the product with English speaking. However, if you need us to teach you face to face, please let us know in advance.
