Ensuring Mission Readiness: Optimizing Space Payload Testing with Force Limited Vibration Techniques

Don’t miss your chance to join Kistler and m+p international for a webinar that offers practical experience in Force Limited Vibration Testing (FLVT). Our application experts will showcase FLVT with real-time monitoring and provide technical insights as well as practical tips for successful vibration testing of any size payload.

FLVT delivers more accurate launch load replication for the actual flight mounting condition during your validation tests. Increase test safety by limiting the acting forces during vibration testing manually, fully automatically or both simultaneously.

Space payloads are tested on the ground to ensure they are mission ready after launch. Conventional vibration testing using response accelerometers and hard mounting to a shaker can overtest the payload resulting in damage or destruction of expensive technological or scientific equipment.

That is why nowadays FLVT (Force Limited Vibration Testing) is often performed on Space payloads. By automatically notching the acceleration at a test item's resonances, by measuring and limiting the reaction force between the test item and the shaker table, overtesting risks and costly damages can be eliminated with FLVT.

Why use FLVT and what to consider?

m+p international and Kistler have prepared a Webinar on FLVT, to discuss the most important points to be considered in practice and give an overview as well as tips and tricks for successful testing procedures.
