A keyboard designed for the relentless, repetitive punishment of vehicle-mount, machinery and transport environments - tested to IEC 60068-2-6 sinusoidal vibration, IEC 60068-2-64 broadband random, and IEC 60068-2-29 bump test (1,000 bumps per axis), with anti-resonance design and captive fasteners that never shake loose.
Vehicle cabs, machinery panels and railway operator consoles expose keyboards to sustained low-amplitude vibration every operating minute. A keyboard must survive not just one event but millions - and still type accurately.
Tested and passed IEC 60068-2-6 (sinusoidal sweep), IEC 60068-2-64 (broadband random) and IEC 60068-2-29 (bump) - covering every vibration profile from engine harmonic to transport rattling.
The housing is designed so its structural natural frequency does not coincide with dominant operating vibration frequencies - avoiding resonant amplification that destroys standard keyboards in weeks.
1,000 repetitive 10G half-sine bumps per axis per IEC 60068-2-29 Test Eb - the definitive test for accumulated damage from rough handling, cobblestone roads and rail joints over service life.
Elastomer grommet isolators at every PCB mounting point absorb vibration energy before it reaches solder joints and key switches - preventing fatigue cracking over long service periods.
All external fasteners are captive-retained and thread-locked - verified not to loosen after the full vibration test suite. No maintenance re-tightening required in service.
High-preload metal dome switches suppress vibration-induced key chatter - the keyboard does not generate spurious keystrokes under continuous vibration, maintaining data integrity throughout.
PCB-level vibration isolation is the difference between a keyboard that lasts a year on a forklift and one that lasts a decade. The grommet system is matched to the dominant vibration frequency of the target platform during the design stage, not added as an afterthought.
Reinforced cable boot prevents connector and solder joint fatigue from continuous cable motion under vibration.
Positive-locking PS/2 connector stays engaged under continuous vibration and won't creep out over time.
Full conformal coat plus underside support ribs prevent flex-fatigue cracking at solder joints over the product lifetime.
Power On, Num Lock, Scroll Lock and Caps Lock - vibration-isolated indicator mounting throughout.
Tailor the keyboard to your vibration profile, mounting format and platform requirements.
