Pendulum Impact Tester – IEC 62262 Mechanical Strength Test Apparatus

Pendulum Impact Tester – IEC 62262 Mechanical Strength Tester for Sheet Metal Enclosures

The Pendulum Impact Tester is a precision-engineered mechanical strength testing system manufactured by KingPo, designed to evaluate the impact resistance of sheet metal enclosures (such as substation arks and metalloid electric energy metering cubicles) in full compliance with IEC 62262. This pendulum impact tester uses a steel pendulum (1000 mm length, 15.9 mm external diameter, 1.5 mm thickness) to deliver controlled energy impacts from 0.14 J to 50 J with ±5% to ±10% accuracy, simulating external mechanical stresses and ensuring enclosure protection.

The impact height is adjustable from 200 mm to 1200 mm (customizable) for precise energy calibration, and the mounting bracket allows angle and position adjustment with all-side mobility. It supports IK00–IK10 code testing by delivering equivalent mass (0.25–10 kg) and corresponding falling heights. The apparatus is widely used in R&D validation, quality control, production batch inspection, and certification testing for electrical enclosures, cabinets, and metal housings.
