DIN EN 60068 Vibration Testing: Advanced Quality Assurance for Transport & Automotive

Why Choose DIN EN 60068?

DIN EN 60068 is established as a global standard for environmental testing of technical products and ensures a comprehensive evaluation of the resilience of components under various environmental conditions. This international standard is crucial for companies looking to ensure the highest quality and reliability of their products, particularly in industries with extreme operating conditions such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial equipment.

The test standard covers a wide range of environmental influences, including mechanical stresses such as vibrations, shocks, and accelerations. The endurance testing phase plays a particularly critical role, where we employ advanced analyses such as frequency stability monitoring, amplitude drift monitoring, damping analysis, and structural fatigue assessment. These methods enable precise prediction of long-term behavior and early identification of potential weaknesses, not only reducing failure risks but also significantly optimizing the overall lifespan and reliability of technical systems.

  • Robust product qualification for international market access
  • High-precision endurance test analyses with predictive failure forecasting
  • Continuous Q-factor monitoring for early detection of material fatigue
  • Validated product durability under extreme operating conditions
  • Cumulative damage calculation according to recognized models for service life prediction
  • Advanced resonance frequency identification and monitoring
  • Comprehensive NVH analysis to reduce noise and vibrations in machines

Industry Challenges Being Addressed

Automotive & E-Mobility:

Electromobility presents the automotive industry with complex challenges regarding vibration and noise behavior. While combustion engines traditionally served as the main source of noise, in electric vehicles other mechanical components such as battery systems, electric motors, and electronic control units now need to be precisely examined for vibration behavior and acoustic properties.

The DIN EN 60068-compliant testing methodology enables a detailed analysis of the mechanical integrity and performance of electric vehicle components. Through high-precision vibration tests, critical resonance frequencies can be identified, material fatigue predicted, and design optimizations suggested that directly improve reliability, service life, and vehicle quality.

  • Advanced vibration safety testing for battery and powertrain systems
  • Reliability validation of electronic control units (ECUs)
  • Durability assessment of sensor systems
  • Resonance peak detection for fatigue prevention
  • Comprehensive NVH measurements for driving comfort and noise reduction

Transport & Logistics:

Modern logistics chains require a precise understanding of the mechanical stresses products are exposed to during transport. From sea freight to air transport to road logistics, vibration profiles vary significantly and can cause significant damage to sensitive components.

The DIN EN 60068 test methods simulate realistic transport conditions with the highest precision. Through multimodal vibration tests, the resilience of packaging systems, electronic devices, and industrial components can be evaluated under a wide variety of transport scenarios. This enables optimized packaging design, damage minimization, and cost reduction in the logistics chain.

  • Protection validation for sensitive electronics during transport
  • Advanced packaging system certification
  • Multimodal transport conditions simulation
  • Vibration stress analysis for long-distance transport
  • Resonance testing to minimize mechanical damage during shipping

State-of-the-Art Testing Process

The testing equipment represents the cutting edge of modern measurement technology. By integrating precision instruments from leading manufacturers such as Modal Shop, Keyence, and Ono Sokki, a testing environment is created that can detect the smallest deviations and subtle mechanical changes. This goes far beyond standard vibration tests and enables an almost microscopic analysis of dynamic system behavior.

The combination of advanced shaker systems, laser vibrometry, and high-resolution data acquisition technology enables complex analysis of mechanical impedance. Test methods cover frequency ranges from 0.1 Hz to 10 kHz and can detect deformations in the nanometer range -- a precision that far exceeds conventional testing methods.

Premium Testing Equipment

  • Precision shaker system: Modal Shop (USA) with excitation powers up to 2000 N
  • Non-contact measurement technology: Keyence laser displacement sensor (JAPAN) with nanometer resolution
  • Data acquisition: Ono Sokki (JAPAN) high-precision systems with 100 kHz sampling rate

DIN EN 60068 Test Protocol

The standardized testing process according to DIN EN 60068 represents a systematic approach to the comprehensive characterization of mechanical systems. With a detailed initial analysis of the test specimen, its initial properties and system parameters are precisely documented. These baseline data form the reference for all subsequent investigations and enable a precise assessment of changes.

The vibration stress is applied via defined excitation forms that precisely simulate real operating conditions. Various signal types are used -- from sine sweeps to broadband random vibrations to specific shock excitations. After the controlled stress, a detailed post-examination is conducted, in which even minimal changes in structure, material properties, and system behavior are recorded and analyzed.

  • Initial test specimen characterization and baseline analysis
  • Controlled vibration stress (sine, random vibration, shock)
  • Post-test characterization and comparative analysis
  • Documentation and creation of comprehensive test reports
  • Derivation of optimization recommendations
