Product Summary

When the steel ball is dropped from the release mechanism, the computer automatically starts timing. When the ball hits the receptor pad, timing stops. Timer measurements of “g” are accurate and repeatable.

How It Works

A steel ball is clamped into a spring-loaded release mechanism. At the instant the ball is released, the electronic timer automatically starts. The timer stops when the ball hits the receptor pad. With the accurate, high resolution timing and automatic start and stop, results are precise and repeatable.
