Linkotest Transportation Simulators
Transportation simulators, also known as simulated transportation vibration shake tables, are essential tools for determining the durability and endurance of products when exposed to environmental vibrations. These simulators mimic the damage caused by bumps during the transportation of goods, making them suitable for a wide range of products including toys, electronics, furniture, gifts, pottery, and packaging.
The Linkotest transportation simulators excel in performing various tests such as repetitive shock, loose load, and bounce tests. These tests adhere to internationally recognized standards set by organizations such as ISTA, ASTM, TAPPI, ISO, MIL-STD, UN, DOT, and other industry, government, and international bodies. By subjecting packages and products to simulated transportation conditions, these simulators assess their ability to withstand shocks and vibrations encountered during real-world transportation scenarios.

Transportation Simulators Supplier FAQ
Transportation Simulator FAQ Guide
If you want to use a transportation simulator in your lab, then our guide is for you. It covers everything you need to know about transportation simulators in terms of definitions, features, benefits, applications, and more. You’ll learn everything you need to know in this guide – let’s get started:
A “transportation simulator,” also known as a “simulated transportation vibration meter”. It is used to determine whether a product can withstand ambient vibrations by simulating the damage caused to the product by bumps in the car during movement. It applies to all kinds of goods. For example, toys, electronics, furniture, gifts, pottery, and packaging. Simulated transport tests are also conducted in accordance with the corresponding EN, ISTA, ASTM, and other international transport standards as well as US and European transport standards.
1) Why do we need a transportation simulator?
In order to further improve the quality of your products and product packaging quality. The vibration table is mainly used to simulate the products in different road conditions, such as bumps, uphill, downhill, turning, and so on. Damage to the product is caused by a collision between the item and other items, a collision between the item and the torso, and extrusion between the item and other items.
What you need to know is that the goal of a transportation simulator is to create a series of controlled vibration simulations in an experiment. Test whether the product can withstand the environmental factors of transportation or vibration during its life cycle. And establish the standards required for your product design and functionality.
- The structure’s structural strength.
- The connection is loosening.
- The material used for protection is worn out.
- Component and part breakage.
- Insufficient electrical component contact.
- Intermittent instability and circuit short circuits.
- Each part deviation’s standard value.
- Using a transportation simulator, damaged parts can be found earlier.
- In order to better determine the resonance parameters, determine the resonance links between the parts, the structure, the packaging, and the delivery process. We recommend that you evaluate the test specification, the validity of the fixture design, the functional verification of the test, and the evaluation, review, and recommendation of the final state of the specimen during the vibration test. The purpose of the simulated transport vibration test bench is to verify the reliability of the product. Pre-screen the defective products before the product leaves the factory, and carry out failure analysis and evaluation on the defective products, so as to create a high level of high-reliability products for you.
Transport simulators are suitable for testing the vibration of many items. This includes toys, electronics, furniture, gifts, ceramics, communications, equipment, computers, and other items. In this way, you check its uniform durability or transport resistance.
In addition, the base of the machine is made of heavy channel steel and equipped with a rubber cushion for vibration reduction. Easy to install, smooth operation, no need to install anchor screws. The digital instrument displays the vibration frequency and synchronizes the transmission ratio of the muffler belt. And the use of guideway clamping test products, the DC motor load capacity is strong.
The following are the features of the transportation simulator.

This machine complies with EN71 ANSI, UL, ASTM, ISTA, and other test standards.
Usually, the American Transportation Association standard is the ISTA test standard, while the American Society for Materials standard is the ASTM standard. Two standards require devices that reproduce transport vibrations. The test was based on T=14200/CPM(based on the total vibration number of 14200) and the test speed selection method. The amplitude is 25.4mm (1 inch, fixed), and the frequency is 2-5Hz (or 100-300 rpm)/min adjustable.
