Steel Sphere Ball with Diameter of 50mm

This 50mm Diameter Steel Sphere is a specialized safety testing tool designed to verify the impact resistance and structural integrity of enclosures for electrical, electronic, and industrial equipment. Crafted from solid carbon steel, it delivers consistent, controlled impact force to simulate real-world scenarios (e.g., falling objects) on device housings—ensuring enclosures don’t crack, deform, or expose hazardous internal parts (like live wires or moving components) post-impact. Its precise 50mm diameter and smooth finish guarantee test accuracy, while its durable construction suits repeated use. It’s essential for manufacturers to meet global safety standards and ensure end-product reliability.

Standards:

Specifications:
Tool Type: 50mm Diameter Steel Sphere (for enclosure impact resistance & structural testing)
Material Solid: carbon steel (high density: 7.85g/cm³; resistant to deformation during impact; ensures consistent force delivery)
Key Dimensions:
– Diameter: 50mm ± 0.1mm (precision-machined for standard compliance)
– Weight: ~515g ± 10g (calculated based on material density; meets typical impact test weight requirements)
Surface Treatment: Smooth, deburred finish (prevents scratches or extra damage to tested enclosures; ensures even impact distribution)
Typical Impact Height: 1.0–1.5 meters (adjustable per specific standard requirements for different equipment categories)
Core Function: Delivers controlled impact to test if equipment enclosures maintain integrity and do not expose hazards post-impact

Test Procedures:
1. Inspect the steel sphere for damage (e.g., dents, cracks, or surface blemishes) to confirm test accuracy.
2. Secure the equipment under test (EUT) on a stable, non-slip surface—align it per the relevant standard’s guidelines.
3. Adjust the test setup to the specified impact height (e.g., 1.2m for IT equipment) and position the sphere directly above the EUT’s target enclosure area.
4. Release the sphere freely (no additional force) to let it impact the EUT’s surface.
5. After impact, visually inspect the enclosure for cracks, deformation, or loose parts—check if internal hazardous components are exposed.
6. Record results: pass if the enclosure remains intact; fail if damage or hazard exposure occurs.

Applications:
1. Impact testing of IT equipment enclosures (e.g., laptops, desktop towers, servers) per UL 62368-1:2023 Figure 7.4.
2. Safety verification of audio/video device housings (e.g., smart TVs, soundbars, projectors) compliant with IEC 62368-1:2022.
3. Structural integrity checks for industrial control panel enclosures (e.g., factory automation units) per UL 1989:2023 Clause 5.2.
4. Quality control for non-patient-contact medical auxiliary equipment (e.g., diagnostic tool casings) during manufacturing.
5. Post-production impact testing of consumer electronics (e.g., tablets, portable speakers) to meet global market safety requirements.
