About MB Dynamics
MB Dynamics, Inc. specializes in vibration test systems and equipment for noise & vibration (NVH) testing. The product portfolio includes electrodynamic shaker systems with force ranges from 100 N to 22 kN, modal exciters and amplifiers from 50 N to 4000 N, squeak & rattle (S&R/BSR) test systems for vehicles, subsystems, components and materials, as well as battery pack vibration test systems. Further offerings include steering test systems (SMTS), test rigs for suspension components, accelerometer calibration systems per ISO 16063-21 and dynamic control systems (MB Millenium) for single- and multi-shaker applications. The hardware offering is complemented by engineering services for the development and execution of NVH test methods, support with test specifications, as well as equipment service and maintenance. The company looks back on more than 80 years of business activity and serves the automotive, aerospace & defense, industrial and laboratory R&D sectors in private, academic and government segments.
