Vibration Fixtures
Testing Vibration Fixtures Designed for Accuracy & Stability
At eMpulse Test Systems, we do more than manufacture vibration test fixtures — we are a vibration fixture manufacturer specializing in precision fixture design for high-fidelity testing environments. Poorly designed fixtures introduce resonances, false positives, and inaccurate test data, compromising the integrity of vibration testing. Our vibration fixtures are engineered using vibration dynamics analysis and structural modeling to eliminate unintended resonances, ensuring clean, repeatable results across all test conditions.
As an experienced vibration fixture manufacturer, eMpulse designs vibration test fixtures that maintain stiffness, mass balance, and dynamic integrity across demanding frequency ranges and load conditions.
- Automotive & Aerospace: Engine mounts, avionics, and battery packs require resonance-free testing to ensure durability and safety.
- Defense & Military: Shock and vibration testing for ruggedized systems where failure is not an option.
- Industrial & Consumer Electronics: Ensuring products withstand real-world conditions by eliminating fixture-induced errors in testing.

Test Fixtures
Our magnesium L&T weldments enable high-stiffness vibration test fixtures capable of true three-axis vibration testing on vertical shakers—without the need to rotate the system into a horizontal position. These vibration fixtures also support vertical-axis testing on a slip table without reorientation, streamlining setup and minimizing handling time.
By eliminating time-consuming alignment procedures for axis changes, this vibration fixture design reduces setup variability, saves labor hours, and improves test repeatability. Custom mounting hole patterns can be provided to accommodate virtually any shaker or slip table configuration.

Magnesium Cubes
Our magnesium cubes are engineered for efficiency and precision. The solid magnesium vibration cubes feature five mounting surfaces—four sides plus the top—maximizing product throughput for three-axis vibration testing. The high-strength magnesium construction provides excellent dynamic integrity, making these cubes ideal for the most demanding test profiles.
Custom mounting hole patterns for magnesium cubes can be provided to accommodate virtually any shaker or slip plate configuration.
