What is a fully automatic insertion and extraction force life testing machine?
In the field of industrial manufacturing and quality inspection, the fully automatic plug-and-pull force life testing machine is an important testing equipment, mainly used to evaluate the plug-and-pull performance and durability of electronic components such as connectors and plugs and sockets. With the popularity of electronic products, the application scenarios of such devices are becoming more and more extensive. This article will introduce in detail its definition, working principle, application scenarios and comparison of popular models in the market.
1. Definition of fully automatic insertion and extraction force life testing machine

The fully automatic plug-in force life testing machine is a device that automatically completes the plug-in action and records data such as force value and times by simulating actual usage scenarios. It can efficiently test the connector's mechanical life, contact reliability, and plug and pull force change trends, providing a scientific basis for product quality.
2. Working principle
The equipment drives the test head through a servo motor or pneumatic device to perform insertion and extraction actions at a set speed and stroke. The force sensor collects insertion and extraction force data in real time, and the software system automatically analyzes and generates a report. Core parameters include:
| parameters | Description |
|---|---|
| Test speed | Usually 10-500 times/minute adjustable |
| force range | 0.1N-500N (depending on model) |
| Stroke accuracy | ±0.01mm |
| Maximum number of tests | Up to 1 million times or more |
3. Application scenarios
This equipment is widely used in the following fields:
1.consumer electronics: Mobile phone charging interface and headphone jack test
2.Automotive electronics: Automotive connector durability verification
3.medical equipment:Reliability evaluation of precision connectors
4.Aerospace: High reliability connector life test
4. Comparison of popular models in the market (2023 data)
