The importance of monitoring and associated servitude

For the duration of the tests, from a few minutes to several months, the equipment under test can be continuously monitored: thermocouple, voltage, current, rotation speed, micro-power cuts,...

Our multiple servitudes (electric, hydraulic, pneumatic) and our expertise in the field of vibration, climatic and hydraulic allow us to carry out tests in the configurations of representative environments in normal or severe use.

 

 

Why go through the process of vibration qualifications?

Vibration tests are important for vehicles, products which will require transportation and equipment which will be subjected to vibration in their operating environments.
They cover a broad array of industrial sectors: cars, rail, military hardware, aeronautics, space, nuclear, telecoms and general commercial goods.

 

 

Vibration tests are covered by various

Industry standard

  • NF EN 60068-2-6 (sinusoidal vibrations)
  • NF EN 60068-2-27 (shocks)
  • NF EN 60068-2-64 (vibrations, broadband random)
  • ...

For very high frequency tests, it is necessary to use piezoelectric vibration generating means.

We have 2 generator sets of 4 kN and 30 kN covering a range from 1000 Hz to 10 kHz with a maximum displacement of 20µm peak-to-peak.

 

 

Vibrations multiaxes

We have up to 3 axes of control which allows us to control up to 3 vibrators (electrodynamic or electrohydraulic) simultaneously.

Driving is done in sinus, random, or recopy of road signals, and on force, displacement or acceleration signals.
