Product Overview
The ZLTJC Tumbling Barrel Test Machine (ZLT-GT Series) is a specialized durability testing device designed to simulate repeated falls that cable-attached devices encounter during daily use. It is engineered to evaluate the impact resistance and structural integrity of small components such as connectors and small remote control units—ensuring they meet rigorous global safety standards. The ZLT-GT Series complies with a broad range of international norms, including IEC60068-2-31, BS1363, VDE0620, IEC60335, and IEC60730, making it a versatile solution for manufacturers in electronics, electrical goods, and consumer products. With five distinct models (ZLT-GT1 to ZLT-GT5) tailored to specific test requirements (e.g., variable fall heights, impact surfaces), this machine delivers consistent, repeatable results for quality control, product development, and compliance certification.

Product Features
Model-Specific Customization
The ZLT-GT Series offers 5 dedicated models, each optimized for unique standards and test scenarios. For example, ZLT-GT5 is tailored to IEC60335-2-17:2017 (appliance components), while ZLT-GT3 aligns with BS1363 (UK plug standards)—ensuring manufacturers select the exact tool for their product’s compliance needs.
Accurate Fall Simulation
Most models maintain a consistent rate of falls (10 times/min) (ZLT-GT5 uses rotation speed-based calculation), paired with precise fall heights (500mm to 1800mm). This replicates real-world drop scenarios (e.g., a remote control falling from a table) to deliver reliable durability assessments.
Durable Impact Surfaces
Each model features a specialized bottom impact surface designed to meet its target standard: ZLT-GT2 uses 3mm steel backed with 19mm hardwood for realistic household impacts, while ZLT-GT4 combines 5mm steel and hard wood for industrial-grade testing. These surfaces resist wear, ensuring long-term test consistency.
Tunable Rotation for ZLT-GT5
The ZLT-GT5 model offers adjustable rotation speed (6 r/min – 7 r/min), allowing users to fine-tune fall frequency (rotation speed x 2) for specialized tests—ideal for evaluating devices under unique usage conditions (e.g., high-frequency drops in industrial settings).
Global Market Readiness
Compliance with IEC60068-2-31, BS1363, and other key standards ensures test results are accepted in regions like Europe, the UK, and Asia, eliminating certification barriers for manufacturers exporting globally.
Application
The ZLTJC Tumbling Barrel Test Machine (ZLT-GT Series) is critical for durability testing across multiple industries:
Connector manufacturing: Testing cable-attached power plugs, USB connectors, and audio jacks to verify resistance to repeated falls.
Remote control production: Evaluating TV remotes, appliance remotes, and smart home controllers—devices frequently dropped in household use.
Lighting components: Validating small lamp parts (ZLT-GT1, compliant with IEC60598) to ensure impact resistance during transportation or use.
Household appliance parts: Testing cable-attached components for coffee machines, microwaves, and vacuum cleaners (ZLT-GT5, aligned with IEC60335-2-17:2017).
Compliance labs: Conducting third-party certification tests for electronics and electrical devices to meet regional safety norms (e.g., BS1363 for the UK market).
FAQ
What types of devices is this Tumbling Barrel Test Machine designed for?
It is specifically built for cable-attached devices such as connectors, small remote control units, lighting components, and appliance parts—simulating the repeated falls these products experience during daily use or transportation.
How many models are in the ZLT-GT Series?
The series includes 5 models (ZLT-GT1, ZLT-GT2, ZLT-GT3, ZLT-GT4, ZLT-GT5), each tailored to comply with specific international standards and test parameters.
What is the standard fall rate for most ZLT-GT models?
ZLT-GT1, ZLT-GT2, ZLT-GT3, and ZLT-GT4 have a standard fall rate of 10 times/min. For ZLT-GT5, the fall rate is calculated as rotation speed x 2 (rotation speed: 6 r/min – 7 r/min).
Can the power supply be adjusted for different regions?
Yes. The standard power supply is A.C. 220V 50Hz, but custom voltages (e.g., 110V for North America) and frequencies (e.g., 60Hz) are available upon request to match regional electrical systems.
What is the fall height of the ZLT-GT4 model, and which standard does it follow?
The ZLT-GT4 model has a fall height of 800mm and strictly complies with IEC60312 (Figure 28)—making it ideal for testing devices requiring compliance with this standard (e.g., specialized industrial connectors).
