Mechanical shocks are generally limited to a frequency range of up to 10,000 Hz and time duration of not more than 1.0 second. This type of testing stresses materials including mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and electronic parts to assess the physical integrity, continuity, and functionality of the material. NTS has extensive capabilities in tailoring mechanically induced shock to your particular situation (e.g., steel to steel, steel to lead, low g's with moderate duration, high speed with long duration and ½ sine wave form, jolt and tumble, classical shock, drop towers delivering to 20,000g (196,000 m/s2) and a unique hammer device producing a metal to metal shock on 3-axis simultaneously).
