Slip Tables

Engineered for Precision. Designed for Versatility.

VB Tech’s slip tables deliver stable, high-precision horizontal vibration testing for a wide range of payloads. Available in both combo-base and stand-alone configurations, our MV and T-Shape Series platforms are engineered for low maintenance, excellent control, and seamless integration. Built on our RAICE design principles, these systems are tailored to meet the evolving needs of aerospace, automotive, defence, and industrial testing environments.

Performance Characteristics:

MV Series – Linear Roller (patented) Bearing (Low Pressure)

  • Affordable solution for horizontal testing
  • Integral hydraulic pump, reservoir and filter
  • Light weight magnesium slip plate
  • Combo-base Isolation Suspension Resonance <2.5Hz
  • Reaction Base with Airbag isolation

T-Shape Series – Hydrostatic Bearing (Medium Pressure)

  • Extraordinary payload capability
  • Excellent control of vertical cross-axis motion
  • Outstanding dynamic stiffness and transmissibility
  • Adaptable to suit customer’s required over-turning moment
  • Lower maintenance costs than traditional high pressure hydrostatic bearings
  • Combo-base Isolation Suspension Resonance <2.5Hz
  • Reaction base with Airbag isolation

VB Tech’s slip tables are engineered to deliver accurate horizontal vibration testing across diverse payload sizes and dynamic test requirements. Available in both combo-base and stand-alone configurations, our MV Series (linear bearing) and T-Shape Series (hydrostatic bearing) systems offer customizable solutions with outstanding control, low resonance, and excellent stability. Designed for reliability, low maintenance, and customer-specific performance—every VB Tech slip table reflects our RAICE commitment to engineering excellence.

VB Tech offers two advanced slip table series: the MV Series with patented low-pressure linear bearings and the T-Shape Series with modular hydrostatic bearings. Both configurations support a wide range of payloads and are designed for minimal cross-axis motion and maximum control in the horizontal vibration axis.

The MV Series is a cost-effective solution that combines low-friction linear guide bearings with lightweight magnesium slip plates. These are ideal for general-purpose testing, with motorised body rotation and airbag-isolated combo-base options. Our patented linear bearings provide up to 15x more load resistance than traditional V-groove types, with enhanced reliability and simplified maintenance.

The T-Shape Series is built around modular hydrostatic bearing elements operating at just 600 psi—lowering maintenance needs and virtually eliminating oil mist risks. Each unit is adaptable to customer-defined overturning moments; ideal for heavy, asymmetrical payloads and even seismic test scenarios. This platform ensures dynamic stiffness, precise motion control, and reduced long-term costs for large-scale testing applications.

Reaction bases with airbag isolation ensure stability and energy absorption across all configurations. Combo-base and stand-alone options are available with vibration systems from VB Tech or as upgrades to third-party installations.
