BALL RELEASE FOR IMPACT RESISTANCE TESTER AZA1295
The AZA LAB Ball Release for Impact Resistance Tester (AZA1295) is a precision-engineered laboratory accessory designed to deliver accurate, repeatable, and standardized ball drop impact testing for a wide range of materials. It is an essential component of drop weight impact testing systems used in research & development, quality control, compliance testing, and academic laboratories.
This device ensures controlled release of a weighted ball from a defined height, eliminating operator variability and guaranteeing consistent impact energy in every test. The AZA1295 is widely used to evaluate impact strength, puncture resistance, and breakage behavior of materials under sudden mechanical stress.
Description
Purpose & Working Principle
The AZA1295 functions by releasing a calibrated impact ball vertically from a preset height using either a manual trigger or magnetic release mechanism. Once activated, the ball is released without lateral movement, rotation, or drag, ensuring a true vertical drop that accurately simulates real-world impact conditions.
This controlled drop allows laboratories and manufacturers to assess whether materials can withstand sudden impact forces without cracking, shattering, denting, or permanent deformation—a critical requirement for product safety and durability certification.
Standards Compliance
The AZA1295 is designed to meet and support internationally recognized impact testing standards, including:
-
ASTM D5420 – Instrumented Impact Testing of Plastics
-
ISO 6603-2 – Plastics — Determination of puncture impact behavior
-
Compatible with other drop-weight and free-fall impact test methods
This makes the unit suitable for regulated industries and accredited laboratories worldwide.
