Ball Arm
 |
The ball arm is the piece that contains the accelerometer and
allows the headform to rotate. |
 |
The Ball Arm is the piece that contains the accelerometer that
calculates the speed of the impact. It is locked in place between the clamp and the head form.
|
|
The Ball Arm has been custom designed for our helmet testing machines. If you
desire a custom design for use with another machine please provide the
following information with your order. |
|
-
The angularity of the arm refers to the drawing measurement C. The different
angles most commonly used are 20°, 25°, 30°and 35°.
-
The length of the arm refers to the drawing measurement A.
-
The diameter of the arm refers to the drawing measurement B.
-
Material requested (see below).
|
|
The ball arm can be made of three different types
of materials to reach different weights depending upon the configuration of
your drop assembly.
-
Magnesium: approx 425 grams
-
Aluminum: approx 620 grams
-
Stainless Steel: approx 1575 grams

-
4 bolts: Are used to secure the clamp to the head form.
Only 5/16 NC 18 - 1 3/4 inch length bolts should be used to avoid any damage to
the tread in the head form.
-
Accelerometer kit: Consists of the accelerometer sensor, support bed, cable.
-
Drop Carriage / Flying arm: The drop guiding system on the machine that will
maintain the head form and other parts of the drop assembly in the trajectory
of the impact.
-
Ball Arm: The Ball Arm contains the accelerometer sensor and is the moving
joint connected to the head form. It allows for various positioning of the head
form.
