Key Features & Advantages

  • Technical Advantage: Upgraded four-layer synchronous clamping architecture expands testing capacity, supporting the insertion of thicker battery nodes or multiple cells simultaneously.
  • Technical Advantage: Integrated internal inline electronic transducer interface outputs reliable telemetry data curves via standard output pins for real-time monitoring.
  • Technical Advantage: Specialized single-nut closure join, backed by high-rebound die spring buffers, balances mechanical loading profiles up to 500kg and protects delicate pouch surfaces against scratches.
  • Technical Advantage: Rigid aluminum construction delivers a top-tier balance of strength and reduced mass, featuring precise structural positioning and fully customizable anodized color coatings for complete electrical insulation.

APPLICATION SCOPE: Long-term volumetric swelling analysis of multi-layer pouch cell battery chemistries, high-pressure galvanostatic cycle life profiling, multi-cell high-throughput research setups, precision positioning validation, and laboratory cleanroom verification matrices.
PACKAGING: Dispatched safely inside heavy-duty, reinforced storage boxes. Each individual assembly unit comes fully equipped with the selected four-layer aluminum alloy plates, 1x calibrated transducer sensor with link cabling, matching precision die springs, and single nut lock components.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Built strictly for laboratory testing and prototyping configurations in professional research locations. Abide by the dimensional rule: maximum cell width and length must remain ≤ fixture parameters minus 30 mm to preserve proper edge clearing boundaries. Route data links away from high electromagnetic interference arrays to guarantee uncompromised trace readout accuracy.

This test fixture is designed for pouch cell battery cycling with integrated pressure sensing. The aluminum alloy four-layer structure accommodates battery thicknesses from 0.1 to 2.5 cm and applies uniform clamping pressure up to 350 kg (customizable to 500 kg).

  • Battery Thickness Constraint: The fixture supports battery thicknesses between 0.1 and 2.5 cm, with adjustable four-layer spacing.
  • Working Pressure Constraint: Standard working pressure is 350 kg, customizable up to 500 kg, with pressure monitoring via integrated sensor.
  • Cell Size Limitation: Maximum compatible cell dimensions are determined by subtracting 30 mm from the fixture's length and width.
  • Material Selection: Available in 7075-T6 or 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, with full material customization option.
  • Clamping Uniformity Requirement: The single nut design with die spring buffer ensures uniform pressure distribution and scratch-proof clamping.

This procedure describes the correct setup and clamping of a pouch cell within the four-layer fixture. Proper adjustment ensures uniform pressure distribution and accurate pressure monitoring.

  1. Adjust Layer Spacing
    Adjust the four-layer spacing to match the thickness of the pouch cell within the 0.1 to 2.5 cm range.
  2. Insert Pouch Cell
    Place the pouch cell between the layers ensuring alignment with the pressure sensor.
  3. Tighten the Nut
    Tighten the single nut gradually until the die spring buffer compresses and indicates the desired preload.
  4. Monitor Pressure
    Monitor the pressure reading from the integrated sensor to confirm the working pressure of 350 kg or the customized value.
  5. Verify Uniformity
    Verify uniform pressure distribution by checking the single nut's position and the spring buffer's compression.

Does integrating the pressure sensor as an essential structural component limit the maximum working pressure of the four-layer aluminum alloy fixture?

Yes, the pressure sensor is an essential structural component retained from the three-layer version, and the four-layer aluminum alloy structure is designed to support a maximum working pressure up to 500kg when customized. The standard working pressure is 350kg, but the fixture can be customized to 500kg while maintaining uniform pressure distribution through the single nut design.

What are the exact dimensional constraints for fitting a pouch cell into the ATM-PCBT-AL-4L fixture, and can multiple cells be tested simultaneously?

The maximum cell length and width must be 30 mm less than the chosen fixture dimensions, and the four-layer spacing can be adjusted to accommodate battery thicknesses from 0.1 to 2.5 cm. The four-layer structure supports testing thicker batteries or multiple batteries simultaneously due to the adjustable spacing and single nut synchronous clamping.

What are the key handling and safety considerations when using the aluminum alloy fixture for pouch cell cycle testing with electrolyte exposure?

The default 7075-T6 aluminum alloy is insulated after anodizing and scratch-proof to protect battery cells, but it is not specified for direct electrolyte immersion. For applications requiring higher electrolyte resistance, 316 stainless steel or PEEK materials are recommended as they offer optimal electrolyte corrosion resistance and no swelling. The fixture uses a single nut locking mechanism with a die spring buffer to ensure uniform pressure and prevent damage during cycling.

The Atomfair ATM-PCBT-AL-4L four-layer pouch cell fixture integrates a single-nut locking mechanism for uniform pressure distribution and a built-in pressure sensor for real-time monitoring, enabling stable cycle testing across varying cell thicknesses. Its aluminum alloy construction offers lightweight handling, but load is capped at 500 kg and default material corrosion resistance is limited, necessitating careful material selection for aggressive electrolyte environments.

Positive

  • Uniform pressure via single nut clamping: Four-layer synchronous locking with a single nut and die spring buffer distributes force evenly across the cell stack, reducing localized stress and improving cycle test data consistency.
  • Real-time pressure monitoring: Integrated pressure sensor as an essential structural component enables direct connection to external acquisition equipment for live force measurement during cycling, supporting process control.

Trade-offs

  • Maximum load limited to 500 kg: Even the reinforced aluminum alloy four-layer structure supports a maximum theoretical load of 500 kg, which may be insufficient for applications requiring higher static pressure on thicker or stacked cells.
  • Default material corrosion resistance trade-off: The standard 7075-T6 or 6061-T6 aluminum alloys offer only general electrolyte resistance; for aggressive electrolyte contact, more resistant materials like 316 stainless steel or PEEK are recommended, increasing cost or weight.
