BYC 100 Modular Fatigue Testing Machine
Manufactured by Life Testing Machines
The BYC-100 unit is a prime example of the PN-MF (Pneumatic Modular Frame) series. It’s meticulously crafted for conducting specialised tests on bicycle sector components.
Constructed entirely from aluminium, this system is engineered to perform static and fatigue tests strictly adhering to the ISO-4210 standard and EN 15194 guidelines.
It has a height-adjustable cross strut which allows the two actuators to be positioned in the desired position for testing, while the portal structure ensures the required rigidity for accurate testing of bike frames and components as per industry standards.
This system is designed to work seamlessly with Litem K-PN series pneumatic actuator kits, anchoring brackets, and RTC 9000 Real Time Controllers, ensuring a versatile and integrated testing setup.

Benefits
- Equipped with wheels for convenient movement and positioning within the test laboratory.
- Front and rear doors with double-leaf opening allow effective access to the work area and proper handlebars positioning.
- The openings interlocking system guarantees complete operator safety.
- Six anti-vibration support feet guarantee maximum stability during the most challenging test conditions.
- Upper interface plates can slide along the upper surface of the frame, ensuring maximum flexibility and easy clamping of the components under test.
- Compatible with the K-PN series of pneumatic actuator kits and relative anchoring brackets.
Test Types
Thanks to the wide range of clamps available, the BYC-100 fatigue testing system is suitable for the following tests:
• Fatigue test with pedalling forces (bi-axial test).
• Fatigue test with horizontal forces.
• Fatigue test with vertical forces.
• Fatigue test on handlebar and stem assembly (bi-axial test).
• Fatigue test on front fork.
• Fork for hub brake-brake mount fatigue test.
• Static-brake-torque test.
Predominantly serving the bicycle industry, the BYC-100 system excels in a variety of tests thanks to its adaptable series of clamps, making it exceptionally suited for:
- Biaxial Fatigue Testing on the Handlebar: Testing the handlebar’s resistance to biaxial stresses.
- Front Fork Fatigue Testing: Determining the fatigue strength of the front fork.
- Horizontal Load Fatigue Testing: Evaluating the endurance of bike frames under horizontal stress.
- Pedal Force Applied Fatigue Testing: Conducting biaxial fatigue tests on bike frames with forces applied to the pedals.
- Seat Static and Fatigue Testing: Analysing the seat for its static stability and endurance under cyclic loads.
- Vertical Load Fatigue Testing: Assessing the durability of bike frames when subjected to vertical forces.
