What types of vibration tests can be performed with electrodynamic shakers?

Electrodynamic shakers can perform a wide range of tests including sine sweeps (to identify resonances), random vibration (simulating real-world environments), shock testing (replicating impacts), sine-on-random, and custom waveform testing. The SW9100-80kN from RMS Testsystems, for example, offers exceptional versatility with its broad frequency range and high force capability for comprehensive testing of various components and assemblies.

 

How do I select the right accelerometer for my application?

Selecting the right accelerometer depends on several factors: the amplitude and frequency range of vibration, environmental conditions (temperature, humidity), space constraints, and measurement accuracy requirements. Consider sensitivity (typically in mV/g or pC/g), frequency response, dynamic range, mounting options, and environmental specifications. LabroTek’s technical experts can help you select the optimal sensor based on your specific testing requirements.

 

What is the difference between random vibration testing and sine testing?

Sine testing applies a single-frequency vibration that sweeps through a frequency range to identify resonances and structural weaknesses. Random vibration testing applies simultaneous vibration across multiple frequencies, more closely simulating real-world conditions. Random testing is often more representative of actual operational environments, while sine testing is valuable for identifying specific frequency responses and for production testing.

 

How often should vibration test systems be calibrated?

Vibration test systems should typically be calibrated annually to ensure measurement accuracy and test repeatability. However, systems used in critical applications or those in constant operation may require more frequent calibration, possibly every six months. LabroTek provides comprehensive calibration services to maintain your equipment’s accuracy and compliance with quality standards.

 

Can vibration testing systems be integrated with environmental chambers?

Yes, many vibration testing systems can be integrated with environmental chambers to perform combined environmental stress testing. These systems allow for simultaneous exposure to vibration along with temperature, humidity, or altitude conditions. The SW8344 Dynamic Test System from RMS can be configured for combined environmental testing, providing comprehensive simulation of real-world operating conditions.

 

What software capabilities are important for vibration controllers?

Key software capabilities include intuitive test setup interfaces, real-time test monitoring and control, comprehensive data analysis tools, automatic shutdown protection, remote operation capabilities, test scheduling functions, customizable reporting, and compliance with industry-standard test profiles. Advanced controllers offer features like kurtosis control for random testing and multi-shaker control capabilities.

 

What are the main considerations when installing a vibration test system?

Main considerations include adequate foundation support (especially for larger systems), isolation from surrounding structures to prevent unwanted vibration transmission, appropriate electrical power supply (three-phase for larger systems), cooling requirements (water or air), adequate space for the system and operator access, and environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) in the test area.

 

How do I interpret vibration test data correctly?

Proper interpretation involves understanding frequency domain analysis (FFTs), time domain analysis, statistical measures for random vibration, and correlation with physical component behavior. Important aspects include identifying resonant frequencies, assessing whether test specifications were met, comparing results to previous tests or simulations, and documenting any anomalies observed during testing. LabroTek offers training on test data interpretation as part of our comprehensive service.

 

What is the difference between displacement, velocity, and acceleration measurements in vibration testing?

These are different ways to express vibration, with mathematical relationships between them. Acceleration (measured in g or m/s²) is typically directly measured by accelerometers and relates to forces experienced by the test item. Velocity (measured in m/s or in/s) indicates energy content and is useful for machinery diagnostics. Displacement (measured in mm or inches) shows the actual movement distance and is critical for clearance issues. Most modern vibration controllers can display all three simultaneously.

 

Can LabroTek provide rental options for vibration test equipment?

Yes, LabroTek offers flexible rental and leasing solutions for vibration test systems and measurement equipment. This is an excellent option for temporary testing needs, evaluating equipment before purchase, or managing budget constraints while still accessing high-quality testing capabilities.
