Tumbling Barrel Tester

Tumbling Barrel Tester:

Application

The Tumbling Barrel Test simulates repeated falls which may occur to such devices as connectors or small remote control units which are normally attached to cables during use.
The Tumbling Barrel Tester is the recommended instrument to perform such a test. A barrel is turned at a rate of five revolutions per minute resulting in ten falls per minute. The sample falls from a height of 500mm on to a steel plate that is 3mm thick and backed by 19mm thick hardwood. The number of falls is set by the user in accordance to the standard they are meeting. After the tumble barrel procedure, the specimen is checked visually, mechanically, and electrically as prescribed in the relevant specification.
