EN 71-1 Motor Horizontal Brake Performance Tester of Toys Testing Equipemnt
Product information of Motor Horizontal Brake Performance Tester
Motor brake performance – Horizontal test
Load the toy as in 8.21 (static strength). Measure the force required to pull the toy on a horizontal plane
covered with a surface of abrasive paper (aluminium oxide P60) at a constant speed of (2 ± 0,2) m/s.
Application of Motor Horizontal Brake Performance Tester
This Brake Performance Tester is mainly used to test the motor brake performance of electric ride-on toys.
Standard of Motor Horizontal Brake Performance Tester
EN 71-1
Principle of Motor Horizontal Brake Performance Tester
Load the toy a suitable static strength load. Measuring the force required to pull the toy on a horizontal plane covered with a surface of abrasive paper (aluminium oxide P60) at a constant speed of (2 ± 0,2) m/s. The motor shall be considered to supply sufficient braking if:
FT1 ≥ (M + 25) x 1.7 or FT2 ≥ (M + 50) x 1.7
where
FT1 is the maximum pull force in Newtons for a toy intended for children under 36 months;
FT2 is the maximum pull force in Newtons for a toy intended for children of 36 months and over;
M is the mass of the toy in kilograms.
