IEC 61032 Articulating Finger Probe with Dynamometer 10N
Leave a Message
The IEC 61032 Articulating Finger Probe with Dynamometer 10N is a precision testing instrument engineered for evaluating the protection against access to hazardous parts in electrical equipment enclosures. This articulating probe assembly incorporates an integrated 10N dynamometer to verify compliance with international safety standards governing mechanical protection testing.
Constructed with precision-machined components, the probe features a knurled finger with standardized dimensions: 12mm diameter and 80mm length, ensuring consistent application force during testing procedures. The articulating joint mechanism allows for controlled movement to simulate human finger access attempts at various angles and orientations.
This testing instrument is essential for manufacturers, testing laboratories, and quality control departments to validate that equipment enclosures prevent access to hazardous live parts, moving components, or other dangerous elements. The integrated 10N dynamometer provides accurate force measurement during testing, ensuring repeatable results across multiple test cycles.
