Vibration Testing

Can your products, parts, or assemblies sustain the shaking they receive in transit or in daily use? Vibration testing allows you to evaluate their performance under virtually identical conditions.

Element vibration testing laboratories

Element has virtually total vibration testing capability. Our multi-shaker facilities are comprised of both electrodynamic and hydrodynamic systems. Element’s 40,000 force-pound electrodynamic shaker system includes an Unholtz Dickie T-4000 shaker combined with a 60-inch by 60-inch bearing slip table mounted on an integrated unibase. 

Among our resources is a 48-inch Magnesium Head Expander to accommodate larger test items in the vertical axis. This equipment, combined with our 20-foot overhead clearance, allows the testing of large/tall items with high overturning movements. Element operates an m+p international 64-channel, digital dynamics control system for our electrodynamic and hydrodynamic shakers. 

Meeting military (MIL-SPEC) requirements

All Element Dynamics Testing facilities help companies meet the latest MIL-SPEC and MIL-STD requirements, including: 

  • Narrow Band Random on Random
  • Swept Sine Superimposed on Random
  • Gunfire Simulation
  • Helicopter Rotor Frequency Simulation
  • Tracked Vehicle Simulation

Element facilities also offer:

  • Seismic Simulation
  • Windmilling Vibration Testing (low frequency, high amplitude)
  • Multi-channel digital control systems for our electrodynamic and hydrodynamic shakers
