IEC 62368-1/UL 1989 1040g 63.5mm Steel Test Ball with Ring

The IEC 62368-1/UL 1989 1040g 63.5mm Steel Test Ball with Ring is a specialized impact testing tool built for medium-to-high impact resistance verification of enclosures—including industrial control panels, large consumer electronics (e.g., 75+ inch TVs), and heavy-duty household appliances (e.g., side-by-side refrigerators). Crafted from solid carbon steel, it delivers consistent, controlled impact force to simulate real-world scenarios like accidental drops of heavier objects. The integrated stainless steel ring enables easy suspension and precise height adjustment (critical for repeatable testing), while its smooth finish prevents artificial damage to test samples. Compliant with global safety standards, it verifies if enclosures avoid cracking, deformation, or exposure of hazardous internal parts (e.g., high-voltage circuits), making it essential for manufacturers to validate product robustness.

Specifications:
Tool Type: 1040g Steel Test Ball with Ring (for medium-to-high impact enclosure testing)
Ball Material: Solid carbon steel (density: 7.85g/cm³; no deformation under standard impact; ensures consistent force delivery)
Ring Material: Stainless steel (corrosion-resistant; tensile strength ≥ 550MPa; secure for suspension at 1.8m max height)
Key Dimensions:
– Ball diameter: 63.5 mm
– Ball weight: 1040 g
Surface Treatment: Smooth, deburred finish (prevents scratches on tested enclosures; ensures even impact distribution)
Typical Impact Height: 1.2–1.8 meters (adjustable per device category; suits industrial/heavy consumer products)
Core Function: Delivers medium-to-high controlled impact to test enclosure integrity; verifies no hazardous part exposure post-impact

Test Procedures:
1. Inspect the steel ball for dents, cracks, or surface blemishes, and check the ring for bending or wear.
2. Secure the Equipment Under Test (EUT) on a rigid, non-slip base—align the target enclosure area.
3. Use the ring to suspend the ball at the specified height (e.g., 1.5m for industrial panels) directly above the EUT.
4. Release the ball freely (no external force) to let it impact the EUT’s enclosure.
5. After impact, inspect the EUT for cracks, deformation, or exposed internal hazardous parts.
6. Record results: Pass if the enclosure remains intact; Fail if damage or hazards are present.
