Trusted by Industry Leaders
The team was easy to communicate with, quick to respond, and truly committed to our success. Marty, Vic , Soliman, and even the accounting team provided us with white glove service. Not to mention that their facility is truly impressive!
We wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again, in fact we are looking forward to it!
The Challenge: Failure is Not an Option
For products in the aerospace, defense, and automotive sectors, a mechanical failure caused by vibration is not just an inconvenience—it can be catastrophic. Every component must be proven to withstand the intense and unique stresses of its operational environment, from the constant vibration of a jet engine to the violent shock of a launch. Proving your product can survive these forces is the most critical step in ensuring its safety and reliability.
Our Shock and Vibration Testing Capabilities.
Megalab is a leading vibration testing lab providing comprehensive environmental simulations.
- Random Vibration Testing: The most realistic simulation of a journey in a truck, ship, or airplane. We expose your product to a complex spectrum of random vibrations to identify weaknesses that a simple sine test would miss.
- Sine Vibration Testing: Ideal for identifying the specific resonant frequencies of your components. A sinusoidal sweep allows us to pinpoint the exact frequencies where a part might fail, providing critical data for design improvements.
- Mechanical Shock Testing: We simulate the sudden, high-force impacts of being dropped or mishandled. This test is crucial for ensuring your product and its packaging can protect against the most common cause of shipping damage.
Pair the test with simulation
A shaker table tells you the bracket cracked. It does not tell you why, or what to change. Our MEGASIM engineering simulation team runs the finite element model alongside the physical test, and the two answer different halves of the same question.
Run the model first and it tells you where to put the accelerometers, which is often not where you would have put them. Run the test and the measured response calibrates the model. From then on the next design change can be judged on screen rather than on a booked shaker.
- Instrument the right places. The model predicts where the resonances and the stress concentrations land, so the accelerometers and thermocouples go there instead of somewhere convenient.
- Diagnose instead of only recording. A test tells you the bracket failed at 140 Hz. The model tells you which mode that is and what stiffening it costs.
- Build fewer prototypes. Screen candidate designs on screen, then book the shaker once for the one you believe in.
- Carry a stronger file. A correlated model beside an ISO 17025 accredited test report is far harder to argue with than either document on its own.
