Subsidiary Shock Test System
Team Corporation’s Subsidiary Shock Test System (SSTS) is able to reproduce the entire acceleration time-history resulting from detonation of the test charge as described in MIL-S-901D. This includes the initial shock pulse from the detonation and the “bubble pulse” that follows in approximately 650 msec.
The SSTS has also shown the capability to reproduce the decaying sinusoid that is sometimes measured in the frequency band centered around 60 Hz.

Multi-Axis Vibration Test Systems
Multi-degree-of-freedom (MDoF) or multi-axis testing is a methodology where excitations are applied to a test article along more than one axis. In traditional vibration testing, test articles are traditionally actuated in a single axis of motion at a time. This type of testing requires minimal test equipment and usually only a single actuator coupled to a vibration table. One of the challenges of this technique is the changeover time between test setups, especially if one must rotate the shaker and remove the test object.
Mantis™ 6-DoF Vibration Test System
MANTIS™ is the system of choice for those requiring high frequency, large displacement, and extended payload capacity.
Through the use of hydrostatic bearing technology pioneered by Team Corporation in the vibration test market, MANTIS™ has the performance to simulate real-world events that were previously unattainable.
Custom engineering is a hallmark of Team Corporation. MANTIS™ can meet a wide variety of testing needs, as it is available in a standardized model and can also be customized to fit special requirements.

RVC 400 Rotary Vibration System
The RVC400 rotary vibration table was created to generate controllable torsional vibration and shock, all in one compact, quiet device that is suitable for use in a standard office or laboratory setting. Capable of frequency response to 2 kHz, the RVC400 can provide clean rotary sinusoidal and random profiles, as well as limited shock pulses on small test objects. Coupled with any commercial single axis controller, quality engineers now have the speed and precision in vibration test and analysis to perform their demanding tests.
The RVC400 rotary vibration table is an electrically powered device. The basis of the design is a state-of-the-art torsional voice coil directly driving a flexure bearing supported rotary shaft and table. This arrangement provides a very responsive rotating mechanism with virtually no friction yet retains the ability to react off-axis motions with very little deflection. Utilizing rare earth permanent magnets, this rotary drive produces very high torque within a small dimensional envelope.

T-Film Slip Tables
Often copied, but never duplicated − Team Corporation’s unique, patented T-Film bearing system offers an exceptional overturning moment capacity combined with the full low pressure oil support of granite or journal bearing oil film type slip tables.
EX Series Hydraulic Actuators
Team Corporation’s EX Series Actuator is a high performance, versatile and cost-effective vibration test system component. EX Series Actuators have been developed specifically for vibration testing and integrated test systems requiring high force, long stroke or high frequency capability. The EX Series Actuator will provide continuous, consistent and reliable test results year after year.
Team Corporation’s EX Series Actuators are double acting, double ended, hydrostatically lubricated and designed to be stiff both mechanically and hydraulically. This is achieved by using a heavy body cross-section, a large diameter one-piece piston shaft and by keeping the trapped oil volume to a minimum. The actuator piston is internally supported by a thin film of high-pressure oil, commonly referenced as a hydrostatic bearing. This feature eliminates metal-to-metal contact, providing virtually infinite piston life. To provide position feedback, an LVDT (linear variable displacement transformer) is mounted concentrically within the piston shaft.

Hydrostatic Pad Bearings
Team hydrostatic pad bearings are used to guide and restrain large packages during vibration testing. These unique bearings form a hydrostatic oil film between a working surface on the package or fixture, and the “pad” of the bearing surface interface. Team hydrostatic pad bearings are extremely stiff, providing the high level of restraint required to keep cross-axis motion to a minimum. When used in conjunction with a 3,000 psi (206 bar) oil supply, Team hydrostatic pad bearings are friction free and require almost no maintenance.
Specialty pad bearings with larger force ratings and greater angular rotations may be available depending upon your application requirements.

V8 & T8 Hydrostatic Bearings
The V-8 and T-8 Hydrostatic Bearings are Team Corporation’s most popular stand-alone bearings. Hydrostatic bearings are supported by a thin film of oil and have non-contacting surfaces providing zero friction, and low noise. The V-8 and T-8 are easy to use, cost-effective, and virtually maintenance-free. The base of each bearing features an “air pad” to facilitate movement and alignment. A filter on the inlet line assures that only clean oil reaches the bearing. Each bearing can carry as much as 10,000 lbs (4535 kg) of vertical load capacity, so most test packages can be accommodated with 4 or 6 bearings.
T-8 and V-8 hydrostatic bearings are designed for use with electrodynamic and servohydraulic shakers with a maximum 2 in. (50 mm) of stroke.

Hydrostatic Spherical Couplings
Team Corporation’s Hydrostatic Spherical Couplings transmit tensile and compressive forces while allowing angular misalignment. Hydrostatic Spherical Couplings are used in applications for multi-axis vibration, structural fatigue testing, and any application where angular movement is required. Each spherical coupling connects the vibration system (Hydraulic or Electrodynamic) to the table / test article, protecting the system from damage due to misalignment or angular motion.
Single and Double pivot couplings are available, in either 0.5 degree or 6 degree configurations. Our double pivot couplings allow for angular and lateral misalignment. Each spherical surface is hydrostatically lubricated for extremely high stiffness, zero backlash, and infinite life.

HydraBall Hydrostatic Bearing Ball Joint
The Team Corporation HydraBall is a hydrostatic bearing, oil-supported ball joint with non-contacting surfaces. Using the HydraBall instead of conventional rod ends saves time and improves test results because no greasing or adjustment is required. The Hydraball provides a zero backlash, zero friction coupling that offers an extremely stiff direct load path. HydraBalls are a low-noise, cost-effective and virtually maintenance-free replacement to conventional rod ends.
The HydraBalls’ smaller package and revolutionary design eliminates pin shear associated with typical clevis pin assemblies. There are no high-pressure seals to wear out or cause friction to compromise test results. The Team HydraBall requires only 0.2 gpm (.751 lpm) of oil at 3,000 psi (205 Bar).
