Mechanical Shock Test System

The Mechanical Shock Tower develops the kinetic energy electromagnetically. An iron core "bullet" is attracted to the magnetic core of the solenoid by the dense magnetic field that is created as current flows through the field coil of the shock tower. As the bullet is drawn into the center of the magnetic field the acceleration increases exponentially as the gap reduces to zero on impact causing the high impact shock
