ISO 8124-4 Impact Head from Swing Elements without Accelerometer Toys Testing Equipment
Description:
Test mass, consisting of an aluminium sphere or semi-sphere of radius 80 mm ± 3 mm, and a total mass(including accelerometer) of 4,6 kg ± 0,05 kg. The impacting part between the surface struck and the accelerometer shall be homogeneous and free from voids. Cables connected to the accelerometer shall be placed in such a way that the effect on the mass of the test mass is minimized.
Standard:
ISO8124-4 6.4.1
Procedure:
Assemble and install the swing element to be tested in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
Suspend the swing with the means of suspension that has been
supplied with the swing and at the maximum height that these
permit. If ropes or cables are the means of suspension, they may
need to be stretched in order to allow smooth travel when the swing
is released during the test. If needed, apply a load of, for
example, 5 kg to the end of each rope or cable and leave it for 6 h
or until the ropes or cables have been straightened.
Adjust all parts of the set-up so that the suspending chains for
the test mass are parallel to the means of suspension for the swing
element. Suspend and adjust the test mass so that the contact point
of the swing element and the centre of the test mass are in the
same horizontal plane as the centre of gravity of the test mass.
Ensure that the chains for test mass are not twisted and that the
test mass hangs in a vertical line.
Affix an index mark to the side of swing elements that are
supported by chains, ropes, cables or other non-rigid suspending
elements. The index mark may be on any part of the suspended member
that is immediately below the pivot point in the free-hanging rest
position.
Swing elements that are supported by chains, ropes, cables or other
non-rigid suspending elements shall be raised along their arc of
travel until the side-view projection of a straight line through
the pivot point and index mark forms an angle of 60° ± 1° with the
vertical. Once the suspended member is raised to the test position,
some curvature will be produced in the suspending elements. Adjust
the suspended member position to determine that curvature which
provides a stable trajectory.
