LabTest Certification Inc. offers vibration testing using our single axis Electrodynamic Shaker System . This system offers a high force and displacement rating, which allows us to test according to the most stringent vibration profiles. Vibration and Shock capabilities are as follows:

  • Sine/Random/Sine-on-Random/Random-on-Random Vibration testing:
    • DC–3  to 4000Hz  frequency range
    • 60,000 N force rating
    • 4 to 8 channel data logging; with our Spider 81 (Crystal Instruments) Vibration Controller System; 1 reference channel and up to 7 monitoring accelerometer channels
    • Arrangements can be made to increase the number of accelerometer channels upon request
  • Classical Shock Testing:
    • Half-Sine/Terminal or Initial Peak Sawtooth/Triangle/Trapezoidal  pulse shapes
    • 120,000 N (newton) shock force rating
    • Pre/Post shock profile compensation
    • 4 to 8 channel data logging; with our Spider 81 (Crystal Instruments) Vibration Controller System; 1 reference channel and up to 7 monitoring accelerometer channels
    • Arrangements can be made to increase the number of accelerometer channels upon request
  • Temperature-Conditioned Vibration:
    • All vibration and shock tests can also be performed at high and low temperatures by utilizing a thermal chamber specifically designed to fit over our shaker system. The thermal vibration chamber is capable of temperatures from -40°C to +85°C and can achieve very high rates of thermal change

Vibration testing can provide a range of useful information from the early research and development stage of a product through to the final design verification and/ or certification stages. Some of the useful benefits of performing vibration testing include:

  • Demonstrate that a product complies with the criteria of various test specifications
  • Identify resonant frequencies
  • Verify that a product can physically withstand the expected vibration exposure of its life cycle.
  • Verify that a product can operate throughout the expected vibration exposure of its life cycle
  • Locate ‘weak links’ in the design during the development stage to identify where the most effective improvements can be made
  • Generate maintenance schedules with confidence
