Why vibration testing is essential – and how our state-of-the-art shaker systems lead the way
Vibration testing & shaker system: In today’s highly demanding industrial landscape, shaker systems and vibration testing have become indispensable tools in product development and quality assurance. From aerospace to automotive, electronics to packaging, vibration testing ensures that products can withstand the real-world forces they’ll encounter in shipping, handling and operation.
Why is vibration testing important?
Vibration testing simulates the mechanical stresses that products experience throughout their lifecycle—during transportation, installation, or in active service. This process helps manufacturers:
- Identify design weaknesses before production
- Comply with international testing standards (like ASTM, MIL-STD, IEC and more)
- Improve product reliability and durability
- Reduce warranty claims and safety risks
As consumer expectations and regulatory standards continue to rise, vibration testing becomes not just a best practice—but a necessity.
The role of shaker systems in vibration testing
Shaker systems are the core machinery used to perform controlled vibration tests. These electrodynamic systems generate precise movement across different frequencies and amplitudes to test how products respond under stress. Whether simulating road vibrations, drop impacts, or high-velocity shock events, a robust shaker system is vital for accurate, repeatable results.
Our featured shaker system: Power, precision & versatility
We’re proud to represent one of our state-of-the-art shaker systems specifically designed to meet the rigorous standards of today’s advanced vibration testing requirements. Built for both flexibility and performance, this system sets a new benchmark in mid-force testing applications.
Shaker system key features:
- Generous test platform
Equipped with a 600 x 600 mm head expander and an 800 x 800 mm slip table, this system offers exceptional versatility—ideal for accommodating a wide variety of test specimens and setups. - Extended displacement capability
With a 75 mm displacement, this shaker system stands out among 11 kN models. This unique feature makes it particularly well-suited for ASTM package testing, where extended travel is essential to accurately replicate real-world packaging and transport conditions. - High-velocity shock testing
Delivering up to 3.5 m/s velocity, the system supports high-speed impact simulations. This is especially important for lithium battery testing, where precise and powerful shock profiles are critical for safety and compliance.
Designed for today’s testing demands
As testing requirements evolve—especially with the rise in electrification and stricter international standards—having a capable and reliable shaker system is more important than ever. Whether you’re validating the resilience of battery packs or ensuring your product packaging can survive international shipping routes, this system delivers the precision, power and repeatability you need.
