Vibration tests

BOSMAL vibration systems: 36 kN, 80 kN and 125 kN - comparison of parameters

BOSMAL conducts various types of vibration tests. Elements tested include:

body elements,
car lamps,
coolers,
batteries,
other components.

Resistance to sinusoidal vibration, random and mechanical shock tests

Vibration system working in conjunction with climatic chamber

Vibrations and mechanical shocks are generated by an electrodynamic inductor allowing testing on the vertical or horizontal axes.

The climatic chamber is integrated into the vibration test bench, which permits production of the required temperature/climatic condition during vibration tests.

We provide the appropriate power supply; electric load, media circuits (air, cooling liquids, etc.) depending on the required installation conditions of the object under test.

We have one- or three-axis accelerometers with a wide range of sensitivities (selected depending on required usage); the vibration system has 12 input channels allowing multichannel vibration control to be conducted and measurement of the test component’s response.

We also have great experience in designing and producing vibration brackets.
