All you need to know about a mechanical shock test

What is a mechanical shock test?

According to most sources, a mechanical shock test is a process that uses sudden acceleration to access the impact of shock and vibration in its subject matter. In certain industries, it's an essential part of the production or transportation process. ELSTAR Elektronik AG leads the way in mechanical shock testing thanks to its extensive range of flexible and affordable products.

What are the advantages of mechanical shock tests?

As a factory, warehouse or plant manager, you're always looking for ways to cut costs and make your business more profitable. When you conduct a mechanical shock test using high-quality vibration measuring equipment from the ELSTAR range, you're assured of accurate results. Take ASTM transportation testing as an example.
