Shock Test System - Model 23

The Model 23 is a small and extremely versatile Shock Test System. The system can be equipped with a high strength aluminum table to serve as mini shock test machine, or it can be outfitted with various platens and impacting forms to perform cushion and materials impact tests. The machine design is straightforward and it is a simple task to changeover from one testing configuration to another

The Model 23 incorporates an electric hoist for table position and utilizes a damped suspension seismic base impact surface. The seismic base is a massive steel block that isolates shock energy from the laboratory floor and surrounding building. The Model 23 is equipped standard with a handheld controller for simplified operation or can be upgraded to the full TouchTest™ Shock Control System.

The Model 23 has the ability to test items weighing up to 80 lbs. (36 kg) with specimen dimensions up to 9.06 inches by 9.06 inches (23 cm x 23 cm). With optional components and shock pulse programmers the Model 23 can generate half-sine shock pulses up to 5000 g and durations as short as 0.25 msec.
