Shock tests accurately measure the fragility of products and evaluate how they respond to specific shock inputs.

Shock test data is key information when determining if your product is capable of withstanding its intended distribution and use environment. For any mechanical shock testing application, Lansmont builds a Shock Test System to meet your needs.

Each customer has unique requirements for their dynamic testing equipment. It is important to know the size and weight of test items to correctly configure the appropriate testing equipment. The size of your largest test item will help determine the table surface area. The maximum payload will help determine the shock system performance category.

Selecting the Lansmont Shock Test System for your Application 

Lansmont makes a wide range of Shock Systems. We recommend the most suitable system configuration for every testing application based on two important criteria: 

• The size of your largest test item 

• The performance capability needed to meet your testing needs 

Test Item Size 

Each customer has unique requirements for their dynamic testing equipment. It is important to know the size and weight of test items to correctly configure the appropriate testing equipment. The size of your largest test item will help determine the table surface area. The maximum payload will help determine the shock system performance category. 

Performance Capability 

Shock testing levels vary significantly depending on the product you are evaluating or the conditions you are simulating. The two most important shock performance criteria are velocity change and acceleration level. It is also important to know the shock pulse waveforms—half sine, sawtooth, or trapezoidal. 

Model 23D

Shock test system

Equipped with a multi-sided magnesium shock carriage, allowing for test items to be mounted in multiple orientations simultaneously, and ideal for half sine shock pulses.

Model 65/81

Shock test system

The Model 65/81 shock test system among our most popular models for testing small to mid-size components and systems, its combination of table size, payload capacity and pulse quality is the preferred choice for many applications.

Model 65/81D

Shock test system

Our Model 65/81D shock test system has an extended drop height and includes a special 'low impulse kit' for more precise performance when generating low energy shock pulse, commonly used for operational qualification testing.

HSX20

Extreme high speed shock test system

The extreme high speed HSX20 system is fitted with table acceleration boost systems, delivering peak acceleration of 10,000 g, maximum velocity change of 150 ft/sec (45.8 m/sec), and min pulse direction of 0.2 ms (half sine), for test items up to 250 lbs (113 kg).

HSX30 / HSX60

Extreme high speed shock test systems

Our extreme high speed HSX15/30 systems are fitted with table acceleration boost systems, delivering peak acceleration of 7,500 g (<100 lbs payload), maximum velocity change of 100 ft/sec (30.5 m/sec), with a freefall payload capacity of 2,000 lbs (907 kg) or accelerated payload capacity of 250 lbs (113 kg).
