Booth #103 | Rosen Center, Orlando, FL | September 20-24, 2026
Mechanical and pyrotechnic shocks involve very high frequencies, which can cause an accelerometer to resonate and behave unpredictably. As a result, obtaining trustworthy measurements in extreme conditions can be difficult or even impossible.
PCB® offers shock accelerometers to help you measure high-level and pyrotechnic shock more accurately and with greater confidence in extreme conditions, and blast pressure sensors for the most extreme environments, delivering high-frequency response and durability for more reliable shock wave, blast, and explosive testing.
Make sure to stop by Booth #103 at SAVE to speak to our experienced staff about the best sensors for your testing needs or check out our technical presentation; see details below.

This tutorial will cover the fundamental concepts of shaker shock testing, from field data acquisition to Classic Shock and Shock Response Spectrum (SRS) wavelet synthesis in a vibration controller. The tutorial will cover shock data acquisition and analysis, classic shock pulses, SRS concepts, SRS and Pseudo Velocity Shock Spectrum (PVSS) data analysis, a review of Classic Shock and SRS test methods in MIL-STD-810H (including the "new" method of Te and TE), shock test tailoring, and SRS wavelet synthesis for shaker SRS testing. A segment covering specialty shock sensors and instrumentation will also be presented. Topics will be accompanied by live demos of data acquisition and shaker tests, with opportunities for hands-on participation.
