V2i is pleased to announce the upcoming expansion of its vibration testing facilities with the acquisition of a new 200 kN electrodynamic shaker.
This new investment will significantly strengthen V2i’s vibration testing capabilities and allow us to support more demanding qualification and validation campaigns.
The new electrodynamic shaker will provide a force capacity of 200 kN for sine and random vibration testing, with a shock force capacity of up to 400 kN. With a frequency range from 5 to 2,200 Hz, a maximum displacement of 100 mm peak-to-peak and a maximum test item load of up to 2,500 kg, this new system will enable V2i to test larger, heavier and more complex components, assemblies and systems.
The installation will also include a 1,500 x 1,500 mm slip table, allowing horizontal vibration testing on large and heavy test items.
This additional equipment is intended to support customers operating in demanding sectors such as space, aeronautics, defense, railway, energy, industrial machinery and advanced engineering applications, among others, where vibration resistance, reliability and structural integrity are critical.
This new shaker will complement V2i’s existing fleet of six electrodynamic shakers, which currently offer force capacities ranging from 13 to 120 kN. The addition of the 200 kN system further expands the laboratory’s testing envelope and reinforces V2i’s ability to provide tailored solutions for a wide variety of vibration qualification requirements.
Beyond increasing the maximum achievable force levels, this investment will also help address growing demand on V2i’s vibration testing resources. In particular, it will free up capacity on the laboratory’s two 120 kN shakers, which are currently operating at very high utilization rates. By redistributing part of the testing workload to the new 200 kN system, V2i will be able to offer greater flexibility, improved scheduling options and increased availability for its customers—key priorities in our commitment to responsive and efficient testing services.
The new system will support a broad range of vibration testing applications, including sine and random vibration profiles, mechanical shock testing within the system’s capabilities, product validation, vibration endurance testing and the testing of larger or heavier components, assemblies and structures.
By integrating this new 200 kN shaker into our laboratory, V2i continues to invest in high-performance testing infrastructure and reinforces its position as a trusted partner for vibration engineering, qualification testing and dynamic structural analysis.
In the meantime, companies preparing upcoming vibration qualification campaigns or facing higher force-level testing requirements are welcome to contact our team to discuss their needs.
