IK Testing Equipment FAQ
What is IK testing equipment used for?
IK testing equipment is used to test the mechanical impact resistance of product enclosures and components. It helps verify whether a product can withstand specified external mechanical impacts.
What standards are related to IK impact testing?
IK impact testing is commonly related to IEC 62262 and IEC 60068-2-75. IEC 62262 defines IK impact protection ratings, while IEC 60068-2-75 describes hammer test methods for mechanical impact testing.
Which equipment is suitable for IK01 to IK06 testing?
For IK01 to IK06 testing, an adjustable universal energy spring impact hammer is usually suitable because it can provide impact energy from 0.14J to 1J.
What equipment is suitable for IK08 to IK10 testing?
For IK08 to IK10 impact energy levels, a vertical hammer impact tester is usually recommended because it is suitable for higher-energy free-fall impact testing.
How does an anti-rebound structure help IK impact testing?
An anti-rebound capture structure helps prevent secondary impact after the first strike, reducing repeated sample damage and improving the consistency of impact test results.
Can BONAD customize IK testing equipment for large samples?
Yes. BONAD can customize higher, wider or reinforced test frames for large electrical cabinets, outdoor control boxes, charging pile enclosures and other oversized samples.
Can BONAD provide fixtures for irregular sample surfaces?
Yes. Custom fixtures can be designed for curved, inclined or irregular surfaces, such as lamp covers, automotive bumpers, EV battery pack housings and non-flat enclosure structures.
What is the difference between a spring impact hammer and a vertical hammer impact tester?
A spring impact hammer is commonly used for lower impact energies and portable testing. A vertical hammer impact tester uses a free-fall impact method and is more suitable for higher impact energies and larger test samples.
When should I use pendulum impact hammer test equipment?
Pendulum impact hammer test equipment is suitable when the test method requires a pendulum structure or when the sample type is more suitable for pendulum impact, such as plugs, sockets, switches, covers, lamps and wall-mounted boxes.
Why is spring impact hammer calibration important?
Calibration helps verify whether the output energy of the spring impact hammer is accurate. Regular calibration is important for laboratories and manufacturers that need consistent and reliable impact test results.
