This test bench is used to perform the lateral force test on toilet seats. This test verifies the durability of the seat rim and hinges by applying alternating lateral loads to the rim while maintaining a vertical load on the rim of 75 kg. The device consists of two cylinders, alternating in intervals and providing a fixed load. One cycle consists of applying the load from one side of the rim to the other. The test is controlled by cycle-by-cycle monitoring of the variability of lateral play. The bench has a workstation.
