Cincinnati Sub-Zero TCB-1.3 Benchtop Vibration Table

RTCA/DO-160 Section 8 verifies that equipment can operate or will not be damaged when subjected to vibration levels depending on the installation and location in the aircraft. RTCA/DO-160 Section 8 has many categories of vibration (S, H, Z, and R for Fixed Wing; and R, U and U2 for Helicopter). Depending on the type of aircraft, the location of the unit in the aircraft, and proximity to the engines (based on ‘Zones’) the test levels and durations are determined. 

MIL-STD 810G was developed for Department of Defense (DoD) applications and is often used for commercial products. The standard describes environmental management and engineering processes that can be of enormous value to generate confidence in the environmental worthiness and overall durability of a system design. The current version of the standard is MIL-STD 810G which incorporates the previous version (F) with corrections, changes and additions. The purpose of this standard is to tailor a product’s “environmental design and test limits to the conditions that it will experience throughout its service life, and establishing laboratory test methods that replicate the effects of environments on material, rather than trying to reproduce the environments themselves.”   The MIL-STD 810G encompasses a series of tests approved by the department and agencies of the DoD. These tests address a range of environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, vibration and acoustic noise. Advanced Test Equipment Rentals has equipment for testing almost every test method found in MIL-STD 810G.   Table of Contents MIL-STD-810G, Method 501.5 - High Temperature MIL-STD-810G, Method 502.5 - Low Temperature   MIL-STD-810G, Method 503.5 - Temperature Shock MIL-STD-810G, Method 507.5 - Humidity MIL-STD-810G, Method 520.3 - Temperature, Humidity, Vibration & Altitude   MIL-STD-810G, Method 501.5 - High Temperature  Purpose Use high temperature tests to obtain data to help evaluate effects of high temperature conditions on materiel safety, integrity, and performance. Application Use this method to evaluate materiel likely to be deployed in areas where temperatures (ambient or induced) are higher than standard ambient. Limitations Limit use of this method to evaluating the effects of relatively

Significance: Products are exposed to complex dynamic stresses in the transportation environment. The determination of the resonant frequencies of the product may aid the packaging designer in determining the proper packaging system to provide adequate protection for the product, as well as providing an understanding of the complex interactions between the components of the product as they relate to expected transportation vibration inputs. Scope: These test methods cover the determination of resonances of unpackaged products and components of unpackaged products by means of vertical linear motion at the surface on which the product is mounted for test. Two alternate test methods are presented: Test Method A—Resonance Search Using Sinusoidal Vibration, and Test Method B—Resonance Search Using Random Vibration. Download Standard
