The invention relates to equipment for testing the bending and torsion resisting performances of an electrical insulator. The equipment is characterized in that: the equipment comprises a slewing worktable, an upright post, a cross beam assembly and a lifting driving mechanism; the upright post is vertically fixed above the slewing worktable; the lifting driving mechanism arranged at the top end of the upright post comprises a screw rod, a speed reducer and a lifting coder; the screw rod is connected with a screw rod nut in the upright post, the top part of the screw rod is connected with the speed reducer, a linear guide rail is arranged on the side wall of the upright post, and the cross beam assembly is connected with the upright post by the linear guide rail in a sliding manner; a bending pressure head, a bending load sensor, a bending displacement coder and a torsion block are arranged on the cross beam assembly; a bending oil cylinder is connected at the rear of the bending pressure head, the bending displacement coder is arranged on the bending oil cylinder, a torsion load sensor is arranged on the torsion block, and the position of a groove of the torsion block is corresponding to that of a test piece fixing seat on the slewing worktable. With the characteristics of saving space and being convenient for use, the equipment can accurately detect the bending and torsion resisting performances of the electrical insulator.
