Vitrek Products for Military & Aerospace Applications
Military and Aerospace electronics require similar testing for electrical safety as other electronics, but test to different standards. Vitrek’s products are ideal for all of your test and compliance applications.
Engine Vibration & Balancing Solutions from MTI Instruments
In the aerospace industry, engine balancing is of paramount importance for several reasons. Properly balanced engines minimize vibrations, which can significantly enhance passenger comfort and reduce wear and tear on critical components. This leads to improved engine performance, fuel efficiency, and overall safety.
Unbalanced engines can cause excessive vibrations that may result in mechanical failures, reduced lifespan of engine parts, and even catastrophic failures in extreme cases123. Therefore, maintaining a well-balanced engine is essential for the reliability and efficiency of aircraft operations. Vitrek’s MTI Instruments brand of turbine engine vibration and balancing equipment have been the industry standard for over 20 years.
Test & Measurement Solutions
Vitrek’s electrical safety testing equipment supports a variety of product safety certifications for military and aerospace applications. Some tests include:
- MIL-STD-2223 Cable & Wire Harness Testing

In industries where precision can impact safety and efficiency, this reliability can make a profound difference.
1510A/1520 Signal Simulator/Generator
Signal generators are vital in aerospace applications for developing, testing and maintaining electronic systems. The 1510A and 1520 can simulate real-world conditions to test components like radar, communication devices and navigation systems. Additionally, they calibrate instruments such as eddy current probes, strain gauge amplifiers and charge amplifiers, ensuring precision and accuracy.
GaGe High-Speed Digitizers
In the aerospace industry, digitizers are essential for capturing and analyzing wideband RF/IF signals. They play a crucial role in radar systems by capturing high-frequency radar signals for precise analysis and processing, which is vital for both military and civilian applications. Additionally, digitizers are used in communication systems to monitor and analyze signals, ensuring clear and reliable transmission for satellite and ground-based communications. In defense applications, they help capture and analyze signals for electronic warfare, enabling the detection and countering of threats.
V7x Series Hipot Testers
Whether you are on a base or a ship, Vitrek’s V7x Series electrical safety testers are an important part of safety programs designed to prevent electrical shocks and fires.
The V7x is a six-in-one instrument that is ideal for military and aerospace applications where you do not have the luxury of carrying multiple pieces of equipment. You can perform AC Tests, DC Tests, Insulation Resistance, Continuity, Ground Bond and/or Switching all from the convenience of a single compact, easy-to-use instrument.
95x Series Hipot Testers
Oftentimes, military equipment is large and ruggedized. Therefore, it can also have a higher capacitance. The 95x Series of Hipot testers is ideal for this application because it provides the power and versatility you need for your most demanding electrical safety test applications and can be equipped to handle up to 500VA of power. Other testers may not have the current drive to charge and test these larger systems.
