Applications:

The Bally flexometer is the internationally-accepted method for the assessment of the flexing endurance of light leathers and their surface finishes.
This machine determines leather resistance to continuous flexion. The equipment is fitted with either 6, 12 or 24 working stations. The whole clamps and relevant structure is entirely stainless steel applied. Digital cycle counter provides repeatable long process solution.
A low temperature version is also available

Product Information:

The tendency for cracks to form in the creases caused by walking can also be determined. The Bally flexer has a different flexing mechanism to the vamp flexer and is complementary to it. It is also used to precondition samples prior to determining water vapour permeability - particularly in assessing uppers for protective footwear. This is a popular machine and its stations are conveniently arranged for user access and the mounting of samples. A pre-determined counter is fitted to the machine, allowing it to be operated without continuous attendance as the machine stops automatically once the set count is reached. The machine is simple to use, is bench mounted and supplied ready to connect to the electrical supply. Low temperature versions of this equipment are also available (to -20°C) subject to ambient temperatures in location of machine.

FAQ:

1. What is a Bally Flexometer used for?

It is used to test the flexing resistance and durability of leather, synthetic leather, and coated materials.

2. What properties can the Bally Flexometer evaluate?

It can evaluate cracking, surface damage, coating failure, and flexing durability after repeated bending.

3. Which materials can be tested?

It is suitable for footwear leather, upper materials, artificial leather, rubber-coated fabrics, and other flexible materials.

4. Which standards does the Bally Flexometer comply with?

It can be designed according to standards such as ISO, SATRA, and ASTM related to leather and footwear flexing tests.

5. How does the Bally Flexometer work?

The specimen is clamped and repeatedly flexed at a specified angle and speed to simulate actual usage conditions and assess durability.
