Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
- Release unit starts the timer as the ball bearing is released
- Integral vibration sensor in the base stops the clock at impact
- Used with an accurate millisecond timer
- Optional 4 second delay on the impact plate outputs when powered with 9 V DC
- No additional power needed with timers that have de-bounced inputs
About This Product
Each drop gives a fall time from which acceleration due to gravity is calculated. To repeat a run, the ball bearing is replaced and the timer reset. If the timer in use has bouncy inputs, powering the unit with 9 V DC adds a 4 second delay to the impact plate outputs. The Free Fall Apparatus is available for supply within India and for export to Eswatini, Samoa, Peru, Belgium, Philippines and Bahamas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. When is the 9 V DC supply needed?
Only if the timer has bouncy inputs; powering the unit with 9 V DC then adds a 4 second delay to the impact plate outputs. Timers with de-bounced inputs need no additional power.
