EN 60068-2-6 Sine Vibration Testing

EN 60068-2-6 Sine Vibration Testing

The EN 60068-2-6 standard specifies procedures to determine the response of electrical, electronic and mechanical products to sine vibration. This test is crucial for ensuring that components and assemblies can withstand mechanical stress during transportation and operation in various environments.

Our laboratory adheres strictly to this international standard, providing clients with accurate and reliable results. The testing process involves subjecting specimens to controlled sinusoidal vibrations at specified frequencies and amplitudes over a defined time period. This allows us to assess the durability of products under dynamic loading conditions that mimic real-world scenarios.

During sine vibration testing, we ensure that all parameters align with EN 60068-2-6 requirements. These include frequency ranges from DC up to 1 kHz, and amplitude levels ranging from 5 g to 30 g peak-to-peak. Specimens are subjected to these conditions in both horizontal and vertical directions, depending on the specific requirements of the product being tested.

Our state-of-the-art facilities enable us to replicate various environmental conditions, including temperature variations and humidity levels if necessary. This comprehensive approach ensures that our clients receive accurate assessments of their products' performance across different environmental factors.

The results from sine vibration testing play a vital role in quality assurance programs by identifying potential weaknesses early on. By incorporating this testing into the design phase or during product validation, companies can make informed decisions about improvements needed before mass production begins.

Our experienced technicians and engineers work closely with clients throughout each project to ensure that all aspects of EN 60068-2-6 are met. From initial consultation through final report delivery, we provide expert guidance tailored specifically for your needs.
