  • Precision, Stability & Strength: Head Expanders by Sterling Solutions
14April 2025

In advanced vibration testing, accuracy and reliability are everything. At Sterling Solutions, we understand the challenges that come with testing large or irregularly shaped components. That’s why we offer Head Expanders—robust extensions designed to increase the mounting surface area of your vibration shaker systems without compromising test integrity.


What is a Head Expander?

A Head Expander is a specialized accessory used in vibration testing when the test specimen exceeds the size of the shaker’s armature surface. It effectively expands the mounting area, allowing large or multiple components to be tested under real-world vibration conditions.


Key Features of Our Head Expanders

Customizable Dimensions
Choose from a range of sizes based on your specific test specimen dimensions.

High-Strength Aluminum or Magnesium Alloy Construction
Engineered for durability while minimizing weight for better dynamic performance.

Broad Frequency Range Compatibility
Ideal for both low and mid-range frequency testing depending on your application.

Precision Machining
CNC-machined for excellent flatness and balance to ensure uniform vibration distribution.

Compatible with All Leading Shaker Brands
Seamless integration with your existing vibration testing setup.


Why Do You Need a Head Expander?

  • To accommodate larger test objects such as panels, subassemblies, or automotive components
  • To maintain test accuracy by avoiding overhanging loads
  • To safely distribute the vibration force across a wider mounting surface
  • To conduct multi-point or high-payload testing without damaging your shaker armature

Applications Across Key Industries

  • Automotive – Test dashboards, battery packs, and full vehicle modules
  • Aerospace & Defense – Evaluate panels, enclosures, and structural parts
  • Consumer Electronics – Support mass testing of multiple units
  • Industrial Manufacturing – Test machinery components and control panels

Built for Safety and Performance

Our Head Expanders are designed with safety and vibration uniformity in mind. Each unit is FEA-tested and quality-controlled to deliver high stiffness and low resonance while protecting your vibration system.


Let Us Help You Choose the Right Head Expander

The correct Head Expander depends on:

  • Specimen dimensions
  • Test frequency range
  • Payload weight
  • Shaker compatibility

Our team at Sterling Solutions is here to help you select or custom-design a solution that meets your needs.
