Shock monitoring for sensitive equipment

Shockmaster indicators flag excessive impact during transport or handling. A red band becomes visible when the device trips, prompting inspection for damage that may be hidden inside apparently intact packaging.

They support checks on incoming shipments, improvements to handling procedures and packaging trials. Using indicators with different thresholds helps assess how effectively packaging protects its contents.

Reusable mechanical design

The TA280 has a clear polycarbonate dome and an anodised aluminium body. It can be reset for repeated use following the manufacturer’s instructions. Seals or safety wire can help reveal interference with the reset mechanism.

Mounting and directional response

Mount directly to equipment or inside a container, using rear mounting holes or a front mounting plate. Equal-G versions respond to radial and base-directed shocks, but not impacts directed axially onto the dome from above. Long-axis versions monitor base-directed axial shocks only.

TA280 settings and options

Nominal settings include 5, 10, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 50 G. Standard tolerance is ±10%; ±5% is available for settings of 10 G or higher. Operating limits are approximately −62°C to +71°C. Electrical-contact versions allow remote status checks.
