Use your industry resources to find the vibration testing equipment you need

Test and measurement labs are a big industry of their own. They supply manufacturers of all kinds including medical, automotive, aerospace and utility companies. The kind of testing you need will identify your supplier. Shock and vibration testing can be specialized to one industry.

I recommend: AM Test works in high-end industries that make sensors and other products that need to be finely calibrated. Vibration Test Systems Inc. serves medical equipment, computer and small electronics. Some of its products include downloadable testing software and offers training to support its software.

Lease or rent vibration test equipment

Leasing or renting vibration analysis testing equipment might be something you need for large products under construction such as a utility plant. Engineers are in charge of test vibration equipment and should choose the suppliers.

I recommend: Electro Rent Corporation is a large-scale supplier of used and rented equipment. Advanced Test Equipment covers a broad range of industry needs.

Integrate your shock and vibration testing needs

A large project like a power plant also needs vibration testing for small components in the electronic parts of the building. Companies that supply an integrated program of testing for all aspects of a project are helpful. It is easier to deduce the kind of company you need and assess its services if you are abreast of the vibration testing field.

I recommend: LDS can integrate all the testing systems you need for a large project. It also does work on individual elements. Dynamic Systems posts newsletters on the newest additions to the field of vibration testing.
