Product Information
TA280 Shock Indicators SKU: TA280 TA280 Shock Indicators Categories Shock Indicators , Shock Monitoring Description TA280 Drawing Ordering Information The TA280 shock indicators part numbers consist of a basic number, followed by a series of dash numbers, designating configuration, nominal G-rating, and certified tolerance. Example : TA280-022-015-C5 is a Long Axis, Front Mounting Shockmaster set for 15 G’s with a +/-5% tolerance, certified. Shock Indicators Overview Shockmaster is a low cost, compact mechanical device which can be installed on delicate equipment to detect excessive shock and vibration, thereby assisting in the detection of hidden damage. When a container is opened, following shipment, there may appear to be no damage. However, if the shock indicators are found to be in a "tripped" condition (with bright red signal band exposed in the dome), it is evident that excessive shock has been experienced . Accordingly, a thorough inspection should be made before accepting the shipment. Instructions for Use Tolerance Since the springs in the Shockmaster are never elongated, it will remain in tolerance indefinitely, provided it is not subjected to continuous motion of the moving parts and is not contaminated internally with foreign particles. The Shockmaster may be reset and used over and over hundreds of times with no change to its G-rating. Some Shockmasters have been returned for recalibration after 10 years of use, and the units were still within the original factory tolerance. Area of Response The Shockmaster has a hemispheric response: it indicates shocks from all directions radial to the unit, axial shocks to the base from beneath, and shocks from all directions between these planes. It will not register axial shocks applied to the dome from above. Models are also available with axial (base) response only. Two shock indicators are usually sufficient for even the largest of packaged items, and one may be adequate if there is no possibility of the equipment being shocked from above. Reusability Shockmasters may be used over and over again. After tripping, the Shock Indicator is reset by removing the screw from the threaded hole in the side of the dome, inserting a stiff wire or straightened paper clip in the hole and pushing the back sleeve back to its armed position. For Shockmasters with ratings of 25 G's or more, a plunger in the dome is depressed while the sleeve is pushed back as far as possible. The plunger is then released and the sleeve is allowed to return gently to its armed position. Accuracy Standard Shockmasters trip within ±10% of their settings. On units set for 10 G's or higher, tolerances of ±5% are available at an extra cost. They operate from -80°F to 160°F and are resistant to high humidity. Tamper-Proof To prevent tampering with the Shock Indicator after it has been tripped, a safety wire with an inspector's seal attached can be placed through the resetting hole screws in the plastic dome. Or, inspector's decals may be affixed over the reset holes. Shockmasters with ratings of 25 G's or more are made tamper-proof by re-inserting one screw, threading safety wire through holes in plunger and screw head and securing with an inspector's seal. Shipping & Handling Costs Shockmasters can help cut shipping and handling costs in three ways: Shockmasters can be used to detect rough handling of a product on assembly lines or in other areas of your plant. Corrective measures may then be initiated to improve material
