MIL-STD-167-1 Vibration Testing Services

E-Labs offers MIL-STD-167-1 vibration testing to verify the durability and performance of naval and shipboard equipment when exposed to environmental vibrations. This military standard is essential for ensuring that mechanical, electrical, and electronic components can withstand the vibration stresses encountered aboard ships and other marine platforms.

Purpose of MIL-STD-167-1

MIL-STD-167-1 focuses on identifying structural weaknesses, premature failures, and performance degradation caused by steady-state vibration. It helps manufacturers and defense contractors confirm that their equipment will remain reliable under long-term operational conditions.

E-Labs covers both Type I and Type II vibrations under this specification

• Type I: Environmental Vibration - Environmental Vibration is vibratory force, which is imposed on equipment installed aboard ships, caused by the hydrodynamic forces on the propeller blades interacting with the hull and by other sources.
• Type II: Internally Excited Vibration - Internally Excited vibration is vibration of machinery generated by mass unbalance of a rotor.

What We Test

Our vibration testing services are designed to meet the requirements of Type I Environmental Vibration Testing and Type II Internally Excited Vibration, which simulates shipboard conditions such as propeller induced vibrations, rotating machinery, hull vibrations, and other continuous forces.

• Shipboard electrical and electronic systems including cabinet racks
• Mechanical components and enclosures
• Navigation and communication systems
• Mission-critical hardware
