Overview
EN 6059-402:2019 - part of the Aerospace Series - defines a standardized test method to determine the bending properties of protection sleeves used for electrical cables and cable bundles in aerospace installations. Published by CEN and intended to be used together with EN 6059-100 (General), this test method ensures sleeve performance under repeated flexing consistent with aerospace harness installation and service conditions.
Key topics and test method
- Scope: Test procedure for protection sleeves used on electrical cables and cable bundles; intended for aerospace applications.
- Specimen preparation: Minimum specimen length of 600 mm taken from a finished sleeve.
- Apparatus:
- Spiral-wrapped bending spring with nominal inner diameter matching the specimen.
- Two mandrels to support the sleeve and define the bend.
- A lever with rotation axis just above the mandrels and an attached mass (applied mass is defined in the product standard).
- Cycle counter with interface to the flex lever.
- Bend radius: Spring must be capable of bending to the specified minimum radius (noted in the product standard; the document references a spring radius specified as five times the nominal inner diameter measured to the spring centerline).
- Method:
- Specimen is bent 90° left and 90° right; that left-and-right movement constitutes one cycle.
- Axis of rotation for the flex arm shall be at the same level or above the mandrel axis.
- Guide rods and weights may be used to prevent irrelevant motion.
- For cable bundles larger than 32 mm, use convoluted conduit to reduce harness weight and avoid contact between conduit and sleeve.
- Acceptance criteria:
- Sleeve must withstand bending to the minimum bend radius specified by the product standard.
- Closing mechanisms (if present) must not open or be damaged.
- No damage or broken yarns/strands are permitted after testing.
Practical applications
- Verifies mechanical durability of protection sleeves used on aircraft wire harnesses, avionics looms and cable bundles.
- Useful during product qualification, incoming inspection, design verification and supplier acceptance testing.
- Helps ensure long-term reliability of electrical cable protection under dynamic installations and vibration-related flexing.
Who should use this standard
- Aerospace engineers and test laboratories performing cable-harness qualification.
- Manufacturers of protection sleeves, conduits and cable installation components.
- Quality, procurement and compliance teams in aerospace OEMs and suppliers.
