Setup February 21, 2013UL Vibration Test Apparatus7

Testing Displacement testing completed on the system As motor implementation is not within the scope of this project, frequency was not validated Test frame rigidly fastened to testing table – Angle steel welded into frame shape – Aluminum cantilever with flange connection Dial indicators used in two locations to verify the displacement across the system – Contacting linear slider box – Contacting collar at connection to vertical conduit February 21, 2013UL Vibration Test Apparatus8

Testing February 21, 2013UL Vibration Test Apparatus9 Dial Indicator Contacting Slider Box Dial Indicator Contacting Conduit Collar

Test 1: Verify zero-displacement – Centering dowels mated between adjustment mechanism and rotating disk to signify zero-displacement – Dial indicators showed zero displacement for the system Test 2: Verify 3 displacement values – 0.016”: found that dial indicators give very low value for displacement ( ”) – 0.100”: again found that measured values were lower than expected ( ”) – 0.250”: met expected displacement value within ± 0.010” Test 3: Verify torque – Torque wrench used not ideal; not precise enough to measure low torque range – Did verify that the required torque to drive the steady-state system is below ~2 lbf-ft February 21, 2013UL Vibration Test Apparatus10 Cantilever Flange Connection Vertical Conduit Conduit Collar Testing Table Test Frame

Testing Conclusions Zero-displacement point is validated Displacement measurements do not agree at low eccentric values, but they do at higher distances – Postulated that the dial indicators are not precise enough to accurately measure low eccentric distances Torque measurement has a high degree of uncertainty due to the low level of precision associated with the torque wrench used during testing Recommended: – Purchase more precise dial indicator (re-test) – Purchase more precise torque wrench (re-test) February 21, 2013UL Vibration Test Apparatus11

Frame Design February 21, 2013UL Vibration Test Apparatus12 44” 34”

Frame Design February 21, 2013UL Vibration Test Apparatus13 Advantages: Allows for a single technician to mount the luminaire Extra support of U-channel decrease vibration of system Rubber pads in-between supporting beams help in dampening the system More space efficient than current design *Approximately 44” X 34” footprint Footprint may become larger due to resonate frequency of design (to be tackled by next senior design group)

Appendix UL Test Standard and Project Background

Project Background To pass safety requirements for certification the luminaires must meet a series of Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standards. A Vibration Test Stand is currently being used by Cooper Crouse-Hinds to test pendant mount luminaires according to section 33 of the UL844 Standard. The Current Vibration Test Stand is outdated, has multiple design flaws, and design documentation and drawings are non-existent. Cooper Crouse-Hinds would like a new modernized Vibration Test Stand to be developed that addresses some of the design flaws of the current system while maintaining UL844 Test Standards. This new Design must also have a LabView interface and control capability integrated into the system. February 21, 2013UL Vibration Test Apparatus23

Design Goals over Winter/Spring MSD Note: It has been decided that this apparatus will be developed in multiple Senior Design Sequences. Provide customer with two design concepts for vibration mechanism Develop a final design of the vibration mechanism. Design a steel test frame that will support the vibration mechanism and the vertical conduit. Design but do not develop steel frame for entire vibration test machine. Develop a full set of engineering drawings. Calculate and select the required drive train system components. Purchase materials, machine components, and assemble the vibration mechanism and test frame. Test the mechanism to ensure that it meets 1 / 32 ” deflection requirement February 21, 2013UL Vibration Test Apparatus24

Summary of UL844 Vibration Test Standard LUMINAIRES FOR USE IN HAZARDOUS (CLASSIFIED) LOCATIONS – UL 844 Section 33 – Vibration Test Standards Luminaire is to be subjected to 35 hours of vibration testing. Luminaire assembly is to be attached to a / 2 ” long conduit via NPT threading. The other end of the NPT threaded pipe is to be secured to the hub of a rigid mounting frame so that the conduit hangs vertically. The conduit should correspond to the smallest size of threaded conduit hub that is designed to attach to the Luminaire being tested. The horizontal force to be applied to the system in order to obtain the deflection must me located 4” above the location of the conduit where the Luminaire attaches. The deflection must be 1 / 32 ” with 1 / 16 ” total deflection per cycle. The system must run at 2000 cycles/min. February 21, 2013UL Vibration Test Apparatus25
