Gaming Chair Fatigue Testing

Gaming chairs need to undergo testing to evaluate if they can withstand fatigue, comfort, and wear. Changes in seat and backrest support occur over time under simulated usage, including repeated load cycles and sustained pressure. Accurate and reliable fatigue testing is crucial for understanding the performance and longevity of gaming chairs under simulated real-world conditions.

Summary

  • Customer Need / Challenge

    Gaming chairs need to undergo testing to evaluate if they can withstand fatigue, comfort, and wear. Changes in seat and backrest support occur over time under simulated usage, including repeated load cycles and sustained pressure. Accurate and reliable fatigue testing is crucial for understanding the performance and longevity of gaming chairs under simulated real-world conditions.

  • Interface Solution

    Interface’s SSMF Fatigue Rated S-Type Load Cell paired with with the SI-USB Universal Serial Bus Dual Channel PC Interface Module can measure the force being applied during a fatigue cycle test of the gaming chair. The SSMF is fatigue rated making it highly suitable for fatigue testing. Results can be measured, logged, and graphed with the SI-USB4 Universal Serial Bus Dual Channel PC Interface Module.

  • Results

    The fatigue test recorded accurate data about the rocking mechanism of the gaming chair as it was fatigue cycled into failure. Adjustments were made to the design to improve the safety and life of the gaming chair, ensuring product quality and protecting the manufacturer from future liability.

Materials


  • SSMF Fatigue Rated S-Type Load Cell
  • SI-USB4 Universal Serial Bus Dual Channel PC Interface Module with supplied graphing software and analog output
  • Customer PC or Laptop

How it Works


  1. The SSMF Fatigue Rated S-Type Load Cell is installed in the testing apparatus. Once the testing apparatus is setup and data is ready to be recorded, the test may begin.
  2. Forces are captured when connected to the SI-USB Universal Serial Bus Dual Channel PC Interface Module with supplied software. Results are sent to the SI-USB4 Universal Serial Bus Dual Channel PC Interface Module where the results can be logged and graphed onto the customer’s PC or laptop.
