Electrodynamic Vibration Shaker System for High Frequency Vibration Testing
What is an ELECTRODYNAMIC SHAKER ?
Electrodynamic Shaker Test System provides a testing platform for
transportation simulation, mechanical shock, mission profile,
Environmental Stress Screening (ESS), and more. With dynamic and
enhanced performance in displacement, velocity, acceleration, and
force, Electrodynamic Shakers accurately simulate a wide range of
conditions that can help improve product and test quality and
reliability.
An ATMARS Vibration Shaker can test in a vertical or horizontal orientation; utilize a fixture, sliptable, or head expander; and interface with an ATMARS's AGREE Environmental Test Chamber. From running random and sine-to-shock, sine-on-random, and random-in-random tests, our vibration test systems will meet your specific vibration testing needs.
Armature
ATMARS armatures are lightweight and durable for maximized acceleration levels. Radial-finned design directs uniform forces through a bonded structure to the specimen mounting surface. This mounting surface incorporates standoffs arranged on concentric bolt circles that minimize thermal transfer and support long-term reliability testing. Custom wound armatures are available for specific performance.
Head Expander
Head Expanders (Round or Square) and (Head) Plates (Round or Square) increase the mounting area for attaching fixtures and products to an electrodynamic shaker table. Various insert patterns are available. And multiple items can be tested at the same time, decreasing total test cycle time. In addition, with Guided Head Expanders and Added Load Support, heavy payloads with large foot prints can be safely mounted and tested on the shaker, minimizing the risk of damage to the shaker suspension system. ATMARS head expanders and head plates are designed for proper stiffness (i.e. gusseted and welded) and are made of durable while light-weight magnesium alloys, providing high strength-to-weight ratio. Head expander weight is reduced where practical and features corrosion protection.
Sliptable
ATMARS electrodynamic shakers have the option of being used with
sliptables and a trunnion allowing vibration tests to be performed
in the horizontal axis by rotating the electrodynamic shaker 90°.
Our single piece table construction with a solid trunnion limits
the relative body motion of the electrodynamic shaker and improves
low frequency/high displacement performance of the overall system.
This solid trunnion and base configuration also limits potential
problems associated with misalignment.
Oil Film
The precision surfaced magnesium plate rides on a film of oil which
is circulated by a low pressure pumping system. The oil film
provides a low friction surface and acts as a damping medium for
restraint of resonances, pitch, yaw and roll moments. A standard
relief valve directs non-required oil out of the pump back to the
oil reservoir to increase pump life instead of re-circulating
within the pump at temperature. A rubberized dirt shield forms the
outer edge of the slipplate to prevent foreign matter from
contaminating the oil and the oil from splashing out.
Linear Guide Bearing
This concept combines a standard slip table assembly with
hydrostatic bearings to provide high restraint to pitch, yaw and
roll moments, while preserving the damping characteristics of an
oil film. This system allows testing of heavy products with high
centers of gravity and is available with low or high pressure oil
supply.
Fixture
Custom fixtures can be designed and manufactured to meet unique customer requirements.
