Mechanical Shock Testing
The way a component endures a shock event,
whether on its way to or under control of the end
user, can be understood through mechanical shock
testing, package design testing, transportation
and storage testing, impact and drop testing.
Ensuring your product design and packaging can
withstand anticipated forces gives you knowledge
to help you avoid early failures of your product.

Mechanical Shock Testing
Mechanical shock testing simulates the forces and
environments that a unit under test is exposed to
during handling, shipment and/or daily use.
Equipment utilized for testing includes
electrical, servo-hydraulic systems and
mechanical shock machines (for traditional shock
testing), impact testers or drop testers.

Mechanical Shock Testing
Three elements that define the profiles for
traditional shock testing are Shape - there
are several variations of standard wave forms
such as Half-Sine, Sawtooth, Triangular and
Rectangular formations and SRS Amplitude - which
is commonly expressed in g's (the force of
gravity is 1 g) Pulse Width - the time between
start and end of the pulse. Commonly expressed in
milliseconds (ms)

Mechanical Shock Testing
Impact and Drop Testing aids in determining how a
product/packaging resists a determined velocity
loading or impact with a surface. Impact testing
is performed using pendulum style impact testers
and incline impacting equipment. Drop testing
utilizes hand drops, quick release hook drops and
drop test machines.
