Introduction
The ATI520CTK Pull Tester Kit is a high-quality, portable testing system designed to ensure the reliability and performance of cable terminations, crimped connections, and swaged fittings. Built to meet rigorous aerospace, defense, and industrial standards, this kit provides accurate pull-force measurements in both field and shop environments. Whether for routine quality checks or certification requirements, the ATI520CTK ensures your assemblies meet specification before going into service.
What Is the ATI520CTK Pull Tester Kit?
The ATI520CTK is a complete cable and wire pull-testing solution engineered for ease of use, accuracy, and durability. It’s specifically designed to test tensile strength in crimped or swaged cable terminations—verifying that fittings, ferrules, or end connections are secure and compliant.
The kit includes:
Pull Tester Assembly – The main unit with precision force measurement.
Interchangeable Jaws/Adapters – Designed for various cable sizes and fittings.
Carrying Case – Rugged, protective transport case for field use.
How It Works
The ATI520CTK operates by applying a controlled tensile load to a test specimen until it reaches the desired pull force. The process is simple:
Secure the cable or fitting in the tester’s jaw assembly.
Apply load via the tester’s mechanical or hydraulic system.
Monitor the gauge or digital readout until the required load is reached.
Record results for quality assurance documentation.
This straightforward method allows inspectors to quickly confirm that components meet minimum pull-force requirements.
Why It’s Used
Pull testing is a critical step in industries where failure is not an option. In aerospace, defense, and critical manufacturing, a single faulty connection can lead to catastrophic results. The ATI520CTK is trusted because it:
Ensures Safety – Verifies that connections meet strength specifications.
Prevents Failures – Identifies weak crimps or improperly swaged fittings before installation.
Meets Compliance Standards – Satisfies testing requirements for FAA, military, and OEM specifications.
Increases Confidence – Every tested connection can be documented for traceability.
