U.S. Test labs with large displacement capability?
(OP)
We have a requirement to run some vibration tests at very low frequency and very high displacements and we are having difficulty finding a U.S. test house that can accomodate it.
The requirement is approximately 11 inches of displacement at around 2 Hz. We've looked at the usual suspects like NTS, Garwood (Stork/EastWest) but they can't achieve these displacements.
We're thinking the automotive industry might be able to achieve these requirements, but being from a different industry, we don't have any contacts.

You could try contacting MTS or Moog, they supply the rigs.

B83 does testing (mostly automotive). Retest sells to testing houses.
