Vibration Integrated Chamber

Vibration Integrated Chambers

Our Vibration Integrated Chambers combine environmental testing with mechanical stress, allowing simultaneous simulation of temperature, humidity and vibration conditions.

  • Description
  • Feature & Benefits
  • Models & Specification

Vibration Integrated Chamber (sometimes called a vibration integration chamber in certain contexts) is a testing system that combines vibration testing with environmental conditions like temperature and humidity to simulate real-world stresses on products or components. The term "integration" emphasizes the seamless coupling of a vibration shaker (electrodynamic or mechanical) with an environmental chamber to test a product’s durability, reliability, and performance under simultaneous mechanical and climatic stresses.

Some Essential Features of Vibration Integrated Chamber

These chambers are designed for reliability, accuracy, and long-term durability, with several key features:

  • Vibration System Integration

    • Integrates with electrodynamics shakers.
    • Supports multi-axis vibration testing (typically 3-axis: X, Y, Z).
    • Adjustable vibration profiles (sine, random, shock).
  • Environmental Control

    • Temperature and humidity control for combined environmental testing.
    • Broad operating range: e.g., -70°C to +180°C, 20% to 98% RH.
    • Rapid ramp-up and ramp-down capabilities.
  • Structural Design

    • Rigid, reinforced chamber to withstand high vibration forces.
    • Vibration-isolated mounting platforms or fixtures inside the chamber.
    • Compatibility with slip tables or head expanders.
  • Data Acquisition & Control

    • Integrated monitoring and control systems for real-time test data.
    • Interface with test software for automated test sequences.
    • Sensors for vibration, temperature, and humidity logging.
  • Safety & Compliance

    • Meets industry standards (e.g., MIL-STD-810, IEC 60068).
    • Built-in safety interlocks and alarms.
    • Overheat and over-vibration protection systems.
  • Customization Options

    • Modular chamber sizes and configurations.
    • Custom fixture designs for unique test setups.
    • Chambers can be configured to test full assemblies or individual components.

Key Applications of Vibration Integrated Chambers
