IEC Test Equipment Steel Ball Impact Device 50mm Diameter Steel Ball

Standard:

IEC 62368-1 ‘Audio/video, information and communication technology equipment – Part 1: Safety requirements’ clause T.6 Enclosure impact test and Figure T.1 – Impact test using sphere;

IEC 60598-1 ‘Luminaires – Part 1: General requirements and tests’ clause 4.13.4 a);

IEC 60950-1 ‘Information technology equipment – Safety – Part 1: General requirements’ clause 4.2.5 Impact test;

IEC 60065-1 ‘Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus – Safety requirements’ clause 12.1.4 Impact test. IEC Test Equipment

Standard description:

A sample consisting of the complete enclosure or a portion thereof, representing the largest unreinforced area is supported in its normal position. A solid, smooth, steel sphere of 50 mm ± 1 mm in diameter and with a mass of 500 g ± 25 g, is used to perform the following tests:

– on horizontal surfaces, the sphere is to fall freely from rest through a vertical distance of 1 300 mm ± 10 mm onto the sample (see Figure T.1); and

– on vertical surfaces, the sphere is suspended by a cord and swung as a pendulum in order to apply a horizontal impact, dropping through a vertical distance of 1 300 mm ± 10 mm

onto the sample (see Figure T.1).

For evaluating a part that acts as a fire enclosure only, the test is done as above, but the vertical distance is 410 mm ± 10 mm.

Alternatively horizontal impacts may be simulated on vertical or sloping surfaces by mounting the sample at 90 ° to its normal position and applying the vertical impact test instead of the pendulum test.

Application:

This device is suitable for drop impact test for equipment enclosure.

Test sample:

Luminaries, Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus, Information technology equipment

Feature:

Equipment can carry out test in two forms of vertical drop and pendulum impact
