MECHANICAL TESTING
Ensure reliable performance of your products under real-world operating conditions
WHAT IS MECHANICAL TESTING?
Mechanical testing assesses the mechanical performance and reliability of electronic components, devices, and systems. It aims to evaluate their ability to withstand mechanical stresses and environmental conditions during their lifecycle, such as transportation, handling, assembly, and operation.
What We Test
We evaluate how your products respond to forces, shocks, vibrations, temperature shifts, and more to ensure they meet rigorous industry standards and withstand real-life conditions. Our testing services support product development, compliance, and lifecycle integrity.

WHY IS
MECHANICAL TESTING
IMPORTANT?
Mechanical testing of electronics plays a crucial role in product development, quality control, and compliance with industry standards and regulations. It ensures that electronic devices can withstand impacts and drops that may occur during handling or accidental falls.
TYPES of
MECHANICAL TESTING
Vibration testing
Simulates vibrations encountered during transit or operation in vehicles, trains, planes, and ships, ensuring your product’s resilience to prolonged and varying movements.
Thermal cycling
Exposes electronics to temperature changes to detect potential issues like solder joint stress or component fatigue, improving thermal durability.
Shock testing
Measures the resistance of electronics to sudden shocks or impacts, replicating conditions encountered during transportation or rough handling.
Environmental testing
Measures the performance of electronics under various environmental conditions, including humidity, temperature extremes, dust, and moisture.
Mechanical strength testing
Assesses the physical strength and integrity of electronic components, such as connectors, solder joints, and mounting structures, to ensure they can withstand mechanical loads without failure.

MECHANICAL
TESTING FACILITIES
Vibration, bump, and shock
Our electrodynamic shaker can test equipment for mechanical stress encountered during transportation or when mounted in vehicles, trains, ships, and airplanes. We are accredited to many standards and can handle special customer specifications.
The shaker can
- exert a force of 26 kN
- operate at frequencies between 2-2000 Hz
- simulate vibrations at a speed of 1.4 m/s, and gravity of 800 m/s (80 g).
We can also combine mechanical and climatic exposure testing in a 1 m3 climatic chamber that can be mounted on the shaker in both vertical and horizontal axes.
Guided free fall
Get your portable equipment and packaging materials evaluated for durability and reliability with free fall and guided free fall testing. Our facility accommodates drops from heights up to 250 cm and weights up to 10 kg, using a range of impact surfaces, including wood and steel.
With high-speed video analysis capturing each impact, we precisely identify failure mechanisms to deliver accurate diagnostics and actionable insights—helping ensure your products perform as expected in real-world conditions.
Materials testing
Ensure the mechanical strength and long-term durability of your materials through rigorous testing processes, including pressing, stretching, twisting, bending, and rubbing, all with a load capacity of up to 250 N. Ideal for accelerated lifecycle assessment, our testing covers critical components like printed circuit boards and touch displays.
We also offer custom fixtures to meet specific testing needs and conduct both static load and impact testing for thorough safety validation, ensuring compliance with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD).
Mechanical analysis
We enhance test accuracy with high-speed cameras, resonance, and non-contact modal analysis for in-depth product diagnostics during mechanical testing.
