Vibration/Shock Specification

thread384-448852

Vibration/Shock Specification

Vibration/Shock Specification

(OP)
Hi, I'm looking for some help with interpreting a vibration/shock specification. It is listed as "5Grms, 1000x50g". I understand the 5grms but not sure what the 1000x50g means. Can anyone help explain?

RE: Vibration/Shock Specification

(OP)
So that means 1000 impacts at 50g's?

RE: Vibration/Shock Specification

If that second part is the shock spec shouldn't there also be a shock time and profile referenced (i.e. sawtooth, sinusoidal)?
