Real-world vibration is rarely single-axis. Vehicles, aircraft, and electronics experience complex, simultaneous forces that single-axis tests can’t capture. Multi-axis testing exposes coupled motions, rotational effects, and complex loads that traditional tests overlook. CentraTEQ’s solutions replicate these conditions with precision — and our latest blog explores system configurations, control strategies, and applications across industries.

Don’t Let Small Mistakes Break Your Shaker!

One missed inspection.
One overlooked calibration.
= Thousands in repairs. 😬

We’ve seen it all — and we’re here to help you avoid the most common (and costly) maintenance mistakes!

🔵 Boost your shaker’s performance
🔵 Save on unexpected repairs
🔵 Keep your testing on track

If you believe prevention is better than cure, this quick overview from ETS Solutions is one’ for you.

A vibration shaker is only as reliable as the care it receives. Neglect maintenance, and it risks downtime, calibration drift, overheating, and costly repairs.

Knowing what to monitor, what to watch for, and how to prevent failures is critical for keeping systems reliable and accurate.

CentraTEQ’s guide on essential maintenance shares the key practices engineers need to protect their equipment and maintain performance

Essential maintenance isn’t optional. It’s the difference between consistent, accurate testing and being caught off guard when a critical system f
ails.

The latest generation of Vertical Pitch & Roll (VPR) shakers, now available in the UK from CentraTEQ.
These advanced systems enable multi-axial simulation of complex motion and excitation profiles such as those experienced in vehicles, aircraft, helicopters and UAVs.
Key capabilities:
🔹 Simultaneous excitation in 5 axes (Vertical, Pitch, Roll + coupled X & Y)
🔹 Frequency range DC–500Hz, up to 4kN excitation force
🔹 Supports specimens up to 300kg with automatic load compensation
🔹 Low operating noise – ideal for Buzz, Squeak & Rattle testing
🔹 Realistic mapping of road, flight and vibration scenarios for faster, more accurate results
From validating sensors, cameras, navigation systems and radars to analysing structural fatigue and ride comfort, the VPR shaker enables more realistic and efficient vibration testing.

Another successful installation from CentraTEQ.
We've just completed the delivery and installation of a system for a client in the defence sector— where reliability and performance are non-negotiable.

This system features the MPA403-M124M shaker, capable of delivering 2,200 lbf of force, handling payloads up to 140 kg, and running smoothly across a wide frequency range from DC up to 4000Hz. It’s paired with a GT600M slip table – a guided oil film system with a lightweight magnesium slip plate, low-friction V-groove bearings, and self-contained oil damping for excellent stability in horizontal testing.

The system also includes an Eco Fan Drive, reducing energy use and operating noise — a perfect fit for the client’s development environment.

All wired in, ready for commissioning, and another happy customer added to the list.
