EV Charging Pile Pendulum Drop Hammer Impact Test Apparatus For IEC 61851 IK Test

This Charging Pile Pendulum Impact Test Apparatus is specially developed to conduct mechanical strength tests on electric vehicle charging piles and power distribution cabinets. It supports two standard impact test modes: pendulum impact and vertical drop hammer impact. By converting gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy, it accurately simulates external mechanical collision impacts on equipment housings. Equipped with an intuitive touch operation interface and reliable anti-secondary impact braking function, the machine delivers stable, repeatable test results to verify the structural durability of EV charging pile.

This equipment is designed to conduct mechanical strength tests on EV charging piles and power distribution cabinets for electric vehicle charging systems.

Test Eha (Pendulum Impact): The impact weight is released freely from a set height along a 1-meter pendulum arm. It strikes the specimen horizontally at the lowest vertical point. The gravitational potential energy converts into kinetic energy to complete the impact test on the sample.

Test Ehc (Vertical Drop Hammer Impact): The impact weight falls vertically from rest at a specified height along a guide tube onto the horizontal surface of the test piece. The conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy realizes the impact testing of the specimen.

Structure diagram as follows:

• Dual test modes integrated
It combines pendulum side impact and vertical drop hammer top impact in one machine, simulating real collisions and falling object hits on charging piles. No need to buy two separate devices, saving space and procurement cost.

• Standard compliant impact energy
Supports 5J and 20J impact energy matching IK08 and IK10 grades, fully meeting IEC testing standards. Test data can be directly used for product certification.

• Anti-secondary impact function
It automatically locks the rebounding pendulum after one strike to avoid repeated hits on samples, ensuring accurate and repeatable test results.

• Intelligent PLC touch control with remote operation
All parameters like impact height and brake delay are set on the touch screen. Infrared remote control is available for safer off-site operation. It also has emergency stop, motor overload and leakage protection.

• Wide adjustable test range
The impact height can be electrically adjusted from 300 mm to 2000 mm. The 1.0 m × 1.2 m sample platform fits most wall-mounted and floor-standing AC/DC charging piles.

• Flexible and stable structure
Equipped with lockable casters and support feet, the whole unit can be moved to different workstations and fixed firmly during testing. The platform supports quick disassembly for large charging cabinets.

• Complete standard accessories
Comes with standard pendulum arm, multiple hammer heads and sleeves for 5J and 20J tests, ready to use right after delivery.
