The fixture imposes specific dimensional and loading constraints to ensure uniform pressure distribution during pouch cell cycling. Real-time pressure monitoring via the integrated sensor is mandatory, as the sensor is an integral structural component.
- Cell Dimension Constraints: Pouch cell dimensions must not exceed the fixture internal plate area minus 30 mm along both length and width to prevent edge stress concentrations during clamping.
- Pressure Adjustment Constraints: Working pressure must be set within the standard 350 kg to the customizable maximum 500 kg using the single nut mechanism, with the die spring buffer ensuring load uniformity.
- Thickness Compatibility Constraints: The fixture accommodates pouch cells with thickness from 0.1 to 2.5 cm, and the four-layer spacing must be adjusted accordingly to maintain contact without over-compression.
- Material Corrosion Sensitivity: The carbon steel construction requires optional anti-rust surface treatment to prevent corrosion in environments with high humidity or electrolyte exposure.
- Pressure Sensor Requirement: The integrated pressure sensor must be connected to a monitoring system for continuous readout during cycling tests, as the sensor is a mandatory structural element.
The fixture uses a single nut locking mechanism with a die spring buffer to apply uniform pressure across four layers. Proper positioning and incremental tightening are critical to achieve the target working pressure without damaging the cell.
Required Equipment: Pouch Cell Cycle Test Fixture (ATM-PCBT-CS-4L)
- Position the Pouch Cell
Set the pouch cell between the plates of the four-layer structure, ensuring it is centered and does not extend beyond the internal area by more than 30 mm from any edge. - Apply Clamping Pressure
Tighten the single nut incrementally until the die spring buffer compresses and the pressure sensor indicates the desired working pressure within the 350–500 kg range. - Monitor and Maintain Pressure
Monitor the pressure sensor readout throughout the test and adjust the nut as needed to sustain the target pressure within the specified range.
How does the single nut locking mechanism improve pressure uniformity compared to multi-nut fixtures?
The single nut design ensures more uniform pressure distribution across the pouch cell by eliminating uneven tightening inherent in multi-nut systems. This is combined with a die spring buffer and four-layer synchronous clamping to stabilize the applied load at a standard working pressure of 350 kg, customizable up to 500 kg on the reinforced carbon steel structure.
What are the maximum pouch cell dimensions that can be tested with the 10*78*105 fixture size?
For the 10×78×105 mm fixture, the maximum compatible cell size is ≤12×48×75 mm (length × width × thickness), following the rule that cell length and width must be at least 30 mm smaller than the fixture dimensions. Thicker cells up to 2.5 cm are supported due to the four-layer structure.
What surface treatment options are available to prevent corrosion on the carbon steel fixture?
The carbon steel fixture can be customized with anti-rust surface treatments, adapting original anodizing color options to the material's characteristics. This prevents corrosion during extended cycle testing in laboratory environments, and the standard build already includes an anti-rust finish for models like the 12×120×160 mm high-pressure variant.
This four-layer carbon steel fixture with integrated pressure sensor enables uniform pressure distribution and real-time monitoring, suitable for pouch cell cycle testing up to 500kg, but requires attention to corrosion protection for carbon steel components.
Positive
- Uniform pressure via single nut: Single nut locking design ensures more uniform pressure distribution across the four-layer structure, improving test consistency and cell protection.
- Integrated real-time pressure monitoring: The pressure sensor is an essential structural component, enabling continuous pressure readout during cycle testing for process control.
Trade-offs
- Carbon steel corrosion vulnerability: Carbon steel requires custom anti-rust surface treatment; without it, the fixture is susceptible to corrosion in humid lab environments.
- Load limited to 500 kg maximum: Even with customization, the carbon steel four-layer structure supports a maximum working pressure of 500 kg, which may not suit ultra-high-force applications.
