A series is the “new standard” in vibration testing, with a solid test performance. A series increases the relative excitation force and has a displacement of 51 mmp-p (2 inch stroke) which gives good balance between specification of velocity, acceleration and displacement.

It also provides a maximum of 3.5m/s shock velocity testing, which responds to the demand in lithium battery testing. Rapid creation of a test from a set of pre-defined templates conforming to most international test standards. Simply select the standard required to generate the main test settings.

ELSTAR Elektronik AG is a manufacturer of one of the worlds most advanced series of mechanical shock test machines.

We can supply a range of machines capable of half sine shock amplitudes of up to 2000g and a repetition rate of up to 60 shocks/min. A major feature of our shock test machines is the ability to produce high quality highly repetitive shocks this makes Elstar Elektronik machine popular where accuracy is paramount. Many machines have been sold to watch manufacturers and to high presision optics suppliers. We are also capable of customising these machines to match individual requirements.

Our IMPALA data acquisition and closed loop control software gives great flexibility and is simple to operate.

Accurate, repeatable waveforms: The STM shock test machine gives results which meet a wide range of half sine test specifications, such as NHIS-90 ,NHIS-91, EN 60068-2-27, MIL STD 810E, BS 2011 and DEF STD 07-55.

Stand-alone design: The STM shock test machine is free standing and therefore can be placed directly on a standard laboratory floor. Because no external reaction mass is requires, costly alterations to the installation site are avoided. The machine is also easily transportable to other sites. Installation is straightforward; requiring only a high pressure airline and single phase AC power.
