Laboratory Endurance Metrology
Under EN 1303:2015 Digit 2, durability is tested via automated robotic rigs performing 100,000 full 360° key rotations under a continuous 15 N lateral side load.
Pass/Fail Criteria
Operational torque must remain $<1.5\text{ N}\cdot\text{m}$ post-test, confirming zero pin galling or spring fatigue.
Frequently Asked Engineering & Selection Questions
Q1: How is EN 1303 Grade 6 durability verified in laboratories?
