Vibration Test Equipment Rental & Sales

Techmaster rents and sells calibrated vibration test equipment: shaker tables and vibration systems, accelerometers and vibration meters. Each rental goes out with a current calibration certificate; vibration calibration from 0.2 to 36 g peak and 1 Hz to 10 kHz is on our ANAB ISO/IEC 17025 scope at the Santa Clara laboratory.

Vibration rental: what to check when it arrives

  • Enter each accelerometer's sensitivity from its certificate into your data acquisition system. A nominal value adds error.
  • Mount sensors by the specified method and torque. Magnet and adhesive mounts lower the usable frequency range compared with a stud.
  • Tie cables down close to the sensor to cut triboelectric noise on charge-mode accelerometers.
  • Check payload mass and fixture weight against the shaker's rated force at your test frequency.

What calibration comes with the rental?

Every rental ships with a current calibration certificate from a Techmaster laboratory. Check that its due date covers your last day of testing and that it covers the ranges you will use.

Vibration calibration is on the ANAB ISO/IEC 17025 scope at the Santa Clara laboratory only, covering 0.2 to 36 g peak from 1 Hz to 10 kHz. Sensors or frequencies outside that range are certified NIST-traceable. Exact ranges and uncertainties are on our published accreditation scope.

Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a shaker table or accelerometer?
Yes. Send the payload, force, frequency range and sensor type you need, with your dates, and we confirm availability and terms.
Where is vibration calibration accredited?
At Techmaster's Santa Clara, California laboratory, covering 0.2 to 36 g peak from 1 Hz to 10 kHz on our ANAB ISO/IEC 17025 scope.
Can I rent a triaxial accelerometer?
Ask us. Triaxial accelerometers are the vibration instrument we calibrate most often, mainly from PCB Piezotronics, Kistler and Dytran. Send the sensitivity, frequency range, connector and mounting you need, with your dates, and we confirm availability and terms.
Can a rental accelerometer have an accredited certificate?
Yes, if its calibration points fall within our Santa Clara scope of 0.2 to 36 g peak from 1 Hz to 10 kHz. Outside that range the certificate is NIST-traceable. Tell us the levels and frequencies you need before it ships.
How do I rent from Techmaster?
Send the model or the specification it must meet, your start date, the last day you need it and the certificate level you need. We confirm availability and terms, then ship the instrument with its certificate or deliver it locally in Southern California, Silicon Valley or the Orlando area.
