Shock Testing Machines

ESSM environmental Shock Simulation Machine
ISM 100 Linear Shock Machine

ESSM Environmental Shock Simulation Machine for Drop Testing

This shock simulation machine replicates environmental handling threats that a small handheld product must survive and gauges your product's ability to survive such handling environments. It controls key test variables: product orientation at impact; nature of the impact surface. It maintains orientation to just prior to impact then releases for unrestrained impact while allowing user changeable impact surfaces to better simulate the handing environment. The drop tester includes a channel short transient shock instrumentation system and optionally includes impact velocity measurement and SRS analysis. SRS is the preferred method for high-amplitude, short-duration, shock signals which result from ESSM tests. Additionally, this unique drop shock tester produces identical shock dynamics within the product as those in the environment. It allows you to drop your product onto a surface of your choice from your selected free-fall height with your selected impact orientation. It documents shock amplitudes and impact velocity. As a bonus, it facilitates high speed video for dynamics analysis.

Rotary Shakers

RVM 1 Rotary Vibration Machine

RVM-1 Rotary Vibration Machine

The GHI Systems Rotary Vibration Machine (RVM-1) is a table-top system that provides sine and random rotational vibration to a product. Its mechanical system is comprised of an electrodynamic actuator, rotational table and stinger interface. The system includes a computer based system for control of vibration input channels which can be configured individually, the average of the two channels or the extremal, which is the highest of the two.

The primary test which this machine conducts is for transportation simulation and its effects on hard disk drive bearings. The drive is mounted on the rotational table such that the platters hub is centered on the table. The table is driven with a predetermined spectrum that simulates the transportation environment.
