Impact Tube Shock Sensor

Impact Tube Shock Sensor Impact Indicator

Shock Tube impact indicators are designed to integrate into limited hardware to detect excessive impacts. Red indicates an excessive impact force experienced on your products. Impact Tube is the smallest, mechanical-operated shock impact indicator, providing reliable shock detection at minimal size and weight for MFGs to embed this impact-sensing technology directly into products or/and integrate it into your system hardware without requiring a power source.

Impact Tube is an ideal solution to power and cost considerations when you need to know if product mishandling may have resulted in misalignment, attribution of liability, loss of product calibration, or warranty-related repair issues.

When to use?

If you meet the following conditions, Impact Tube should be your first choice.

1. Small & limited adhesive surface
2. Slight collision unacceptable
3. Fragile goods
4. Expensive shared devices
5. Place shock indicators directly into the product
6. Warranty repair products
7. Need to investigate impact force secretly

Tubes are selected based on the impact amplitude and duration, which define a product’s damage profile. Lower g amplitudes with longer durations are more likely to damage heavier products, whereas higher g amplitudes with shorter durations are more likely to harm lighter products. There are 7 G-value sensitivities available for choice.

Heavier = More likely to be damaged by lower g amplitudes with longer durations.

Lighter = More susceptible to higher g amplitudes with shorter durations.
