Which locking element performs best? For fifteen years, laboratories on every continent have answered that question on a Vibrationmaster desktop instrument.
Standardised Junker testing to DIN 65151, DIN 25201-4 and ISO 16130 — vibration testing, torque and clamping force analysis, and the loosening curves that settle the argument.
Small footprint. Quiet operation. Certification-grade results, beside your desk.
J123
The instrument the fastener world knows best, in its latest generation. The J123 tests fasteners from M3 to M12 metric and #4 to 1/2″ imperial, serving the small screws of consumer electronics as readily as standard machine bolts. Vibration testing and torque–clamping force analysis in one instrument, run from any browser through the Vibrationmaster Test Suite.

J161
The same instrument, built for larger joints. Beneath identical covers sits a more powerful drive train and higher sensor capacity, serving fasteners from M5 to M16 metric and #10 to 5/8″ imperial.

JD10-P
The Desktop Series, highly portable. Testing fasteners from M4 to M10 and #6 to 3/8″, the JD10-P brings professional Junker demonstration and testing to the places decisions are made — customer meetings, trade shows, training rooms. The first units are being built now, together with co-developer partners who are shaping its specification.
