Vibration Testing and Shock Testing Services

Vibration testing evaluates how a product, component, assembly, or package responds to controlled dynamic motion. Tests may include random vibration, sine vibration, or sine-on-random profiles to expose resonance, fatigue risks, loosened connections, structural weaknesses, and performance issues before products reach the field.

Mechanical shock testing measures how a product withstands sudden high-force events such as impacts, drops, handling shocks, transport events, or operational jolts. The goal is to verify durability, identify failure points, and confirm that components continue performing safely after short-duration acceleration pulses.

Vibration and shock testing are commonly used by automotive, railroad, agricultural equipment, construction equipment, professional tool, medical device, electrical power control, consumer product, aerospace, defense, packaging, data center, power generation, mining, forestry, off-road, and naval industries where reliability under motion and impact is critical.

B83 Testing & Engineering is an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited testing laboratory recognized by ANAB. This accreditation supports technical competence, controlled procedures, calibrated equipment practices, and reliable reporting, helping manufacturers document performance, quality, and compliance for internal decisions, customer requirements, and product validation programs.

Project timelines vary based on test complexity, fixture design, specimen availability, required profiles, and reporting expectations. B83 Testing & Engineering emphasizes flexible scheduling and accommodation of changing client demands, making it possible to support development programs, production validation, quality investigations, and urgent design verification needs.

Yes. B83 Testing & Engineering offers unique fixture design and custom test development capabilities. Proper fixturing is essential because it helps replicate the intended mounting condition, transfers energy correctly, protects the test article, and improves confidence that results reflect real operating or transport environments.

Helpful information includes the product description, dimensions, weight, mounting orientation, operating environment, applicable standard or customer specification, required vibration or shock profile, number of samples, desired monitoring points, and reporting needs. If a profile is not defined, field data replication or custom test development may be appropriate.

Yes. Testing projects are supported with documented results that help clients make informed quality decisions, reduce liability, lower warranty exposure, and solve problems tied to product design or manufacturing processes. Reports can support development validation, production validation, compliance reviews, and internal engineering analysis.
