About
The 1U CubeSat Vibration Shaker Test Jig by CubeSat Aerospace is a precision mounting fixture designed for securing CubeSats during sine, random, and shock vibration tests. It ensures proper alignment, consistent clamping, and reliable mechanical coupling with vibration tables, enabling qualification of the satellite for launch environments. This vibration test jig is used to mount and secure a 1U CubeSat onto a shaker system for dynamic environmental testing. It replicates flight-like mounting conditions, ensuring the satellite endures launch-level vibrations without movement or misalignment. The fixture is vibration-qualified itself and built to avoid resonance or energy absorption during test runs. Key benefits include rigid and balanced mounting for accurate vibration transmission, compatibility with vertical and horizontal vibration systems, support for sine, random, and shock vibration profiles, CNC-machined from vibration-tolerant materials, and easy adaptability for different CubeSat sizes with add-on plates. It is used for qualification, acceptance, and educational testing. It is built to support NASA GEVS and MIL-STD-1540 vibration testing protocols, has been used in successful CubeSat flight qualification campaigns, bench-tested for mechanical integrity and fit with 1U structure, and validated for use in university and commercial test labs. It comes with a one-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects and technical support is available for shaker integration and test setup.
