Shock Testing (VST Model PSM 100 0909 Pneumatic Shock Machine)

Aerospace Use: Simulates high-impact shock events (e.g., rocket stage separation, handling drops, mechanical impacts).

• Shock Type: Half-sine, sawtooth, trapezoidal shock pulses
• Peak Acceleration: Up to 100 g – 10,000 g (depending on payload mass & configuration)
• Payload Capacity: ~100 lbs (45 kg) or greater with proper fixturing
• Pulse Duration: Adjustable (typically 0.5–30 ms)
• Control System: Pneumatic actuation, programmable shock pulse shaping
• Applications: Aerospace payloads, electronics ruggedness, defense hardware, industrial and consumer product drop testing

 Other business applications:

• Defense contractors testing ruggedized equipment.
• Industrial equipment makers verifying tolerance to impact loads.
• Medical device companies ensuring reliability of sensitive instruments.
• Consumer goods companies testing drop resistance (phones, wearables, etc.).

Test Article Size:

• Aerospace: Satellite subsystems, avionics boards, CubeSat structures, separation systems.
• Other Businesses: Electronics ruggedness (phones, sensors), defense hardware, industrial components, consumer goods drop-resistance.
