Shear Load and Static Load Test Apparatus for Ground Recessed Luminaires

The LS-SLTAF24 Shear Load and Static Load Test Apparatus for Ground Recessed Luminaires is a precision-engineered testing instrument designed to evaluate the mechanical load-bearing performance of in-ground luminaires in accordance with international safety standards. Utilizing advanced drive mechanisms and closed-loop control systems, this apparatus applies precisely calibrated static and shear forces through integrated load cells and displacement sensors, accurately simulating the compressive and lateral stress conditions encountered during actual installation and service life.

The system’s structural configuration is specifically optimized for the dimensional constraints and mounting characteristics of ground recessed luminaires, ensuring repeatable test conditions and eliminating fixture-induced variables. Through standardized test protocols compliant with IEC 60598-2-13:2016 and GB 7000.213-2018 requirements, this apparatus verifies whether luminaire housings, mounting hardware, and sealing components maintain structural integrity under specified load conditions.

The human-machine interface incorporates a 7-inch color touchscreen with intuitive programming capabilities, while the PLC-based control system enables precise parameter setting and real-time data acquisition. Test sequences can be programmed with exact timing, force application rates, and cycle counts, with automated completion alerts and data logging for quality documentation.
