Head Restraint System
Comprehensive head restraint testing system for evaluating seat and head restraint performance, offering multiple test stations and compliance with international safety standards.
The MGA Head Restraint test system is the ideal tool for the evaluation of seat and head restraint systems to the performance requirements of such standards as FMVSS 202a, ECE R17, ECE R25, GB 15083, etc. MGA Research Corporation, which also operates laboratories throughout the U.S., utilizes the same equipment for NHTSA compliance testing.
The complete package consists of one to three occupant test stations, a T-slot work surface, hydraulic unit, and loading application forms. It also includes a user-friendly control/data acquisition system utilizing the latest hardware, combined with customized software written to specific test standards. Test personnel can easily master the system with training from MGA Engineers who have decades of experience with testing head restraints.
