Vibration and Shock Resistant Fanless Embedded System

Mobile equipment, transportation systems, and machinery-mounted computers endure continuous vibration and occasional shocks that destroy conventional systems. Advantech ruggedized fanless embedded systems meet MIL-STD-810 and EN 50155 specifications for vibration and shock resistance.

Mechanical Design for Vibration

Eliminating fans removes the primary vibration-sensitive component. Solid-state storage withstands shocks impossible for mechanical hard drives. PCB mounting uses locking screws and shock-mounted connectors. Conformal coating protects against vibration-induced component contact. Cable strain relief prevents solder joint failures.

Certification Standards

MIL-STD-810 specifies vibration testing across 5-500 Hz at 5G acceleration. EN 50155 covers railway applications with severe vibration and shock requirements. Marine certifications address vessel motion and impact resistance. These standards verify reliable operation in demanding mechanical environments.

FAQ

Can fanless computers survive railway installations?

Yes, EN 50155 certified models specifically target railway applications, withstanding track irregularities, coupling impacts, and traction system vibration throughout vehicle lifespans.
