Vertical Hammer: All You Need to Know

1. What is Vertical Hammer?

The Vertical Hammer is a professional tool designed based on IEC60068-2-75 test Ehc for high-energy mechanical hammer impact tests. It can carry out IK07 to IK11 tests in line with IEC62262. This vertical hammer is for use on accessible horizontal surfaces only. It mainly consists of a striking element and a guideway.

2. Structure of Vertical Impact Test Apparatus

The vertical impact test apparatus has a simple yet effective structure. It includes   striking elements (hammer), fixed-height guideways, and a test rig with an electromagnet. This setup enables easy test execution. The striking element is the key component in delivering the impact force during the mechanical impact test. The guideways determine the path of the falling hammer, and the length of the guideway represents the falling height. The electromagnetic device releases the hammer, which then falls through the guideway directly onto the specimen surface placed horizontally.

3. Advantages of Our Design

3.1 Customizable Travel Height: Our vertical impact test apparatus allows you to customize the travel height. The regular height range is 0 - 1000mm, which can fit different impact point heights.

3.2 Rigid Plane Support: The test apparatus comes with a rigid plane support for placing specimens securely.

4. Application and Reference Standards

Designed according to IEC60068-2-75 and GB2423.55, the IK vertical hammer is ideal for testing the mechanical impact strength of various products. It is used for luminaires, household appliances, EVCS, and more. It meets the test requirements of IEC60598-1, IEC62196-1, and other relevant standards.

5. Test IK Levels

Our vertical impact test apparatus is suitable for tests with impact energy exceeding 2J, covering IK07 to IK11 levels. Here is the detailed data:

6. Material of the Striking Elements

The striking elements for IK07 to IK11 tests are made of steel, ensuring durability and accurate test results.
