Vibration Testing with Electrodynamic Shakers
Through vibration testing we can condense a lifetime of stress and wear into a short period of time, reveal hidden design weaknesses and validate durability.

Structural Dynamics is a type of structural analysis intended for the purpose of assessing how physical forces affect structural integrity and performance.
Monitoring the condition of machinery or equipment is key to predictive maintenance. HBK provides effective solutions across different industries and assets.
To ensure products can handle shocks and stresses within their service life, vibration testing comes into play. As an example, this applies to:
In order to ensure that the products customers receive are intact and fully-functional, it is essential that they can survive the journey from when they are boxed at the factory until they arrive at the end destination. Moreover, beyond merely withstanding short-term physical forces, developers need to ensure that their products will maintain the integrity and quality that represents the brand in the longer term.
Product qualification and verification is done through extensive simulation in the development phases, but simulation is not enough. It is also necessary to do physical testing on prototypes and end-of-line items, both to validate simulated results and to prove product durability to customers.
Can you detect a 15 cm crack in a wind turbine blade without stopping the wind turbine? A three-year-long research project, partly financed by the Danish government, proved that this is indeed possible.
Time, size, distance, speed, direction, weight, volume, temperature, pressure, force, sound, light, and energy. These are all physical properties that we measure and take for granted. Life as we know it would not be possible without measurement.
For most of us, imagining a world without music is impossible. But for those who have some form of hearing loss, and those with a severe or profound hearing loss, the world of music has not always been accessible – until now.
