Design, production, testing and calibration

CENTROTECNICA was founded in 1979 in Milan, one of the world's epicenters for hi-tech SMEs and ideal environment for its growth and development. Our core business is mechanical vibration testing.

We manufacture mechanical accessories for test execution (slip tables, head expanders, fixtures, etc.) that are appreciated worldwide, and we operate one of the largest and most comprehensive vibration (and general environmental) test laboratories in Europe.

Our extensive experience in the field, combined with close collaboration between our r&d, design, manufacturing, and testing departments, enables us to continuously improve our products and services, and to solve specific challenges related to testing with speed and efficiency.

Our registered patents and the innovations introduced to the market—or used exclusively in our laboratory—are a testament to this.




Accredited Testing Lab

Provided with accreditation and certification recognized the world over, the Testing House occupies 1500 sq m and contains more than 30 machines intended for environmental testing (shakers for vibrations on three axes with a force of up to 200 kN, including two in a clean room equivalent to ISO 8; stand alone climatic chambers or combined with shakers; shock, drop, compression, altitude, and centrifugal acceleration machines, an inclined plane and a mechanical shaker).

We can satisfy the most different test requests and perform the tests required by the leading international standards (CEI EN ISO; ASTM; MIL-STD; ISTA;...) and industry specifications and even reproduce the ambient conditions detected in the field.



Design and Production

We design, produce and test customized monoaxial and triaxial fixtures, prisms, cubes, expanders, and thermal barriers for the testing we conduct at our laboratory or for direct sale and delivery anywhere on earth.

We design and construct VST and RT slip tables with exclusive patents to be matched with shakers of any size by any producer (Centrotecnica is also an official partner of IMV Corp. for the supply of these elements).



Accredited Calibration Lab

The task involves acceleration, and calibrating accelerometers in terms of both frequency and magnitude.
This is Italy’s only accredited accelerometer calibration center qualified to calibrate also at client premises. Thanks to exclusive innovation, we are also the only accredited calibration center able to calibrate accelerometers according to the temperature, the ideal solution for those who conduct climatic tests.



Research and Development

Centrotecnica has made many significant innovations in vibration testing in terms of both improving existing products and introducing unprecedented machines and accessories.
Centrotecnica personnel is highly-qualified and prepared to address unique problems.
