Key highlights

We offer vibration and shock testing services for spacecraft, subsystems, components, and other high-reliability products that need to demonstrate structural integrity and operational reliability under mechanical loads.

Our shaker system is housed in an ISO 7 cleanroom, making it suitable for sensitive test objects. We support launch vibration and shock simulation, resonance analysis, structural weak-point identification, and development or qualification-oriented test campaigns.

Our published capabilities include sine, random vibration, and shock testing, with vertical and horizontal excitation options, a 600 mm × 600 mm mounting surface, payload capacity up to 300 kg on the head expander and 620 kg on the slip table, and maximum shock acceleration up to 2,000 m/s² peak.

Applications

We support mechanical environmental testing of small satellites, spacecraft hardware, electronics, mechanical assemblies, and other products exposed to dynamic loads.

Typical space-sector applications include launch vibration simulation, shock-load assessment, resonance identification, structural stability evaluation, and functional reliability testing of electronic and mechanical components under dynamic loads.

We also support high-reliability industries outside the space sector, including automotive, aviation, packaging, and electronics applications where vibration, shock, transport loads, or mechanical stress are relevant to product reliability.

Key features

We provide vibration and shock testing services using a shaker system designed to reproduce mechanical loads that products may experience during launch, transport, operation, or other demanding environments.

We support several dynamic test methods, including sine vibration, random vibration, and shock testing. These methods help engineering teams analyze dynamic stress, shock effects, and resonance behavior, identify weak points, validate design margins, and improve hardware robustness before deployment.

For space applications, our facility is particularly relevant to small satellite and spacecraft hardware testing. Small satellites experience significant mechanical loads during launch, and our test setup can be used to simulate launch-related vibration and shock conditions, assess structural stability, and evaluate the durability of components and assemblies.

  • Maximum force in random vibration: 22 kN RMS
  • Maximum force in shock mode: 44 kN
  • Maximum acceleration in sine mode: 1,000 m/s²
  • Maximum acceleration in random vibration: 630 m/s² RMS
  • Maximum acceleration in shock mode: 2,000 m/s² peak

Our shaker system is housed in an ISO 7 cleanroom, helping reduce contamination risk during environmental test campaigns for sensitive hardware.

We can support development testing, design verification, resonance testing, functional reliability checks, and qualification-oriented mechanical testing for spacecraft structures, satellite subsystems, electronic assemblies, sensors, batteries, avionics, and other high-reliability products.

Customization

We tailor test campaigns to the customer’s product, test objective, and expected mechanical environment. We can adapt the test approach based on sine, random vibration, shock, resonance, or launch-simulation profiles, as well as vertical or horizontal excitation depending on the test article and fixture configuration.

Customers can work with us to define load profiles, mounting configuration, instrumentation, cleanliness requirements, and campaign scope. Custom fixture design, special test setups, extended documentation, or non-standard campaign requirements can be discussed during quotation.
