Vibration Testing Magnesium Plate
Magnesium tooling plate applied to vibration test rigs in metallurgy, moulding, food, chemical and construction work.
Overview
What This Product Is
Vibration testing is the most common application of SGZ magnesium tooling plate. The plate is stable and hard enough to carry heavy weight vibration testing, and it is specified across metallurgy, moulding, food, chemical and construction work.
Stable and hard
Carries heavy weight vibration testing without deforming.
Damps vibration
Absorbs vibration for longer life than aluminium.
Light to handle
Lighter than steel and copper, so tables can be reconfigured.
Proven across five industries
Metallurgy, moulding, food, chemical and construction.
Who it is for
Buyers Who Specify It
Metallurgical test laboratories
Vibration testing of metal components and assemblies.
Moulding and tooling shops
Testing moulded parts and mould assemblies.
Food industry equipment makers
Vibration testing of processing and packaging machinery.
Chemical plant equipment makers
Test rigs for pumps, valves and vessels.
Construction product testers
Vibration testing of building components.
Problems it solves
What Goes Wrong Without It
- A test table that rings adds its own resonance to the measurement. Magnesium damps rather than amplifies.
- A heavy steel table is hard to reconfigure between tests. Magnesium is much lighter.
- A table that moves dimensionally between tests invalidates a comparison. This plate is dimensionally stable.
- Heavy specimens need a plate that will take the load. This plate is specified to bear heavy weight vibration testing.

Technical Features
- The most common application of SGZ magnesium tooling plate
- Stable and hard under heavy weight vibration testing
- Used in metallurgy, moulding, food, chemical and construction industries
- Non-magnetic with high electrical and thermal conductivity
- Supplied polished, from the same P003 tooling plate programme
Materials
The same magnesium tooling plate stock, polished and cut to the test table size.
How it is made
Manufacturing Process
Define the table
Give SGZ the plan size and thickness of the test table.
Produce the plate
Plate is produced to that thickness from the tooling plate programme.
Polish
The working face is polished.
Check flatness
Thickness and flatness tolerance are controlled.
Crate and ship
Packed on a wood pallet or in a wood case.
Quality Control
- Flatness and thickness tolerance controlled
- Dimensional stability verified through the production process
- Surface inspected before packing
Customisation Options
- Cut to the plan size of your vibration table
- Thickness selected from the tooling plate range
- Drilled or slotted to a customer drawing on request
Certification
SGZ does not publish third-party certification for this item, so none is claimed here. Ask [email protected] if your market requires specific documentation.
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
Magnesium Tooling Plate
Same material and same programme. Order under the tooling plate name for jigs, fixtures, optical benches and gauges.
Highly Polished Magnesium Plate for Engraving and Etching
The photoengraving plate is thin stock for etching, not a structural test plate.
Use Guide
- Give SGZ the table plan size, thickness and the specimen weight you intend to test.
- Mount the plate so the damping is not defeated by a rigid steel sub-frame.
- Clean with alkaline cleaners; the plate resists them well.
