In the realm of product safety and quality assurance, accurate repeated free fall testing is of utmost importance. Our cutting – edge tumbling barrel for repeat free fall test is designed to revolutionize your testing procedures, especially when it comes to meeting the stringent requirements of the IEC60068 – 2 – 31 procedure 2 standard.
Unparalleled Simulation Accuracy in Line with IEC60068 – 2 – 31
The IEC60068 – 2 – 31 standard emphasizes the need for realistic simulation of free fall conditions. Tumbling barrel made by Pego, crafted with precision engineering, excels in replicating real – world free fall scenarios with remarkable fidelity. The barrel’s unique rotation mechanism ensures that test samples are subjected to a comprehensive range of impacts and orientations, mirroring exactly what they would experience in actual free fall situations. This meticulous replication enables you to identify potential weaknesses in your products with greater certainty, in full compliance with the IEC60068 – 2 – 31 standard’s call for accurate defect detection. As a result, you can implement more effective product improvements, leading to enhanced product quality and safety.
Tumbling barrel-The Recommended Apparatus for Free Fall Repeated Test
Tumbling barrel also be called as rotating barrel, normally it consists of barrel and control box, the barrel rotates and causes a free fall combined with a tumbling motion of the specimen. The dimension of the barrel is given in figure A.1 of IEC60068-2-31 standard. The tumbling barrel has a smooth, rigid steel test surface at each end, with a thickness of 3mm, and backed by hardwood of between 10mm and 19mm thickness.
Placing the test specimen in the barrel, and preset the prescribed number of falls by the control box. Test severity is classified as 50 falls, 100 falls, 200 falls, 500 falls and 1000 falls, and falling height is generally 500mm or 1000mm. For example, the IEC60320-1 standard stipulates that the appliance coupler should withstand 500 or 100 falls; the IEC60598-1 standard stipulates that the socket-outlet should withstand 100/50/25 falls at the height of 500mm; and the IEC60884-1 standard stipulates that accessories should withstand 1000/500/100 falls. After the test, the test samples shall show no damage or/and no part shall have become detached or loosened which may influence the electrical safety.
The significance of Repeat Free Fall Test
The repeat free fall test is very important to check the mechanical strength of connectors, appliance couplers, plug, socket-outlets and similar electrical accessories. Test samples of different weights must withstand different numbers of falls, usually light samples need to withstand more falls.
The significance of the repeat drop test is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1). Enhance product safety: It can uncover potential defects in the product’s structural design, making optimizations and improvements to enhance the product’s mechanical strength.
2). Ensure product reliability: Simulate the multiple falls that the product may encounter during transportation and use, and evaluate its durability and performance stability under repeated falls. Understand the weak points of the product, providing a direction for improvement, so that the product can be more reliable in actual use.
3). Improve customer satisfaction: The product improved through testing has higher reliability and a better user experience, which can enhance customer satisfaction and brand loyalty. It helps enterprises establish a good brand image and improve their market competitiveness.
