Lansmont PDT80(M) Drop Tester
Our PDT 80 Precision Drop Tester is our most popular model. With a handheld controller and electric hoist for positioning of the drop assembly, the PDT 80 it can be used for a variety of drop testing requirements. The PDT 80 consists of a drop leaf assembly housed in a cast aluminum structure. The drop leaf housing is supported by a 3 in. (7.6 cm) diameter chrome-plated steel guide rod that is mounted to the 0.5 in. (1.3 cm) thick steel base plate.
The operator uses a handheld controller to adjust the drop height and to drop the test specimen. Separately, a footswitch can also be used to drop the test specimen, allowing safe, efficient testing.
The PDT 80M is our low cost Precision Drop Tester model. The PDT 80M consists of a drop leaf assembly housed in a cast aluminum structure.
The drop leaf housing is supported by a 3 in. (7.6 cm) diameter chrome-plated steel guide rod that is mounted to the 0.5 in. (1.3 cm) thick steel base plate.
The user manually adjusts the drop height by moving the drop leaf housing up or down as required and locking it in place. The weight of the drop tester is counterbalanced so changing drop heights is easy. The steel guide rod is pre-drilled to give:
1 in. (2.5 cm) incremental drop height adjustment from 12 to 36 in. (30.5 to 91.5 cm)
2 in. (5.08 cm) increments from 36 to 42 in. (91.5 cm to 107 cm)
6 in. (15.2 cm) increments from 35 to 71 in. (88.9 to 180 cm).
The drop test is initiated through the use of a footswitch, allowing safe, efficient testing. The On / Off switch and power indicator lamp are located on the side of the drop leaf housing, easily accessible to the operator.
