For the dynamic testing of the locking characteristics of fasteners under loading conditions and in particular for testing to DIN standard. 65151. Technical Details & Schematics
The Vibration Tester is fitted with sensors for the measurement of:
Test results can be processed and displayed using a stand alone signal conditioning unit plus a standard PC with analogue to digital input card.
Specialised software is also available.
Fastener loosening has been the subject of much study and testing. Many types of vibration test machines have been used in an effort to determine the
effectiveness of bolted joints or types of fasteners, but most such units have failed to provide meaningful information for actual applications.
Using knowledge gained from comprehensive studies of vibration and it's effects on fastener self loosening, SPS designed and built a compact vibration
test unit that simulates actual operating conditions in dynamically loaded joints. After extensive tests which verified the machines accuracy, and the reliability of data produced, plus many years of use on customer applications, the Transverse Vibration Tester is now being offered to fastener manufacturers and users.
