IEC 60884-1 Cord Anchorage Torque Test Device for Plug Socket Cable Sheath Wear Testing

The IEC 60884-1 Cord Anchorage Torque Test Device is developed to evaluate the mechanical strength and durability of cord anchorage systems used in plugs, socket-outlets, appliance couplers and electrical accessories. The equipment applies calibrated torque loads to flexible cords, allowing manufacturers and certification laboratories to verify whether the cable anchorage effectively protects internal conductors from twisting stress and sheath damage.

Designed according to IEC 60884-1 Clause 23.2, IEC 60335-1 Clause 25.15, and VDE 0620, the tester provides repeatable torque loading for international compliance testing, quality control, product development and certification.

• IEC 60884-1:2006 Clause 23.2
• IEC 60335-1 Clause 25.15
• VDE 0620 Table 18

The tester is suitable for evaluating:

• Plug cord anchorage
• Portable socket-outlets
• Extension sockets
• Power cords
• Appliance connectors
• Flexible cable assemblies
• Electrical accessories
• Household appliance power cables

• Cord anchorage torque test
• Cable sheath wear assessment
• Twisting resistance verification
• Mechanical durability testing
• Electrical accessory compliance testing

The equipment applies a specified torque to the flexible cable through a calibrated lever arm and standard weights. During the test, the specimen is securely clamped while the prescribed torque is maintained for the required duration. After testing, the cable sheath, anchorage structure and conductor position are inspected for movement, deformation or damage in accordance with IEC acceptance criteria. The testing method ensures consistent evaluation of cord anchorage reliability under twisting forces.

• High testing repeatability
• Standardized torque loading
• Maintenance-free mechanical design
• Long service life
• Fast specimen replacement
• Suitable for international certification laboratories
• Compatible with multiple plug and socket configurations
• Reliable compliance verification for export products
