Shock & Vibration Testing Capabilities

TRaC have a wide range of shock and vibration testing equipment that can reproduce various conditions.

Vibration capabilities cover sinusoidal, random, sine on random and random on random. Shock testing can be carried out using one of our vertical-drop shock testing machines or electromagnetic shakers. TRaC also support a dynamic test facility dedicated to tests against requirements for telecoms and radio products.
