Abstract:
A flexibility testing apparatus for wire or cable. Two circular, rotatable gears are mounted to a frame, one gear being a drive gear and the other being a driven gear. The driven gear is coplanar with the drive gear and the drive gear teeth are enmeshed with the driven gear teeth. Two rods are connected to the mounting holes of the drive gear and the wire or cable is attached to the rods using barrel end clamps for flexing. The driven gear can be rotated at different speeds by an electric motor or a pneumatic driving device.
