Shaker Systems

Do you have small to mid-sized electrodynamic system shaker needs? Vibration Research has broad range of shaker and amplifier models to meet your particular circumstances and specifications.

All Vibration Research’s shaker systems consist of a shaker and a matching linear power amplifier. Additional components may be added to the basic system to tailor it to your specific needs. We believe that your small system concerns deserve the same quality and service usually associated with larger, more expensive system requirements. Our systems have been designed, manufactured, and tested with the controller, shaker, and matching amplifier to insure that the system will provide optimal performance across a broad range of possible applications. Learn more about each Vibration Research shaker model below by reviewing the summary of combination of components, options, and specifications. Further details are available by downloading the specific PDF or contacting a VR sales rep.

VR4600  |  606F-lb pk System

The 606F-lb pk system is one of the largest of the current family of Vibration Research systems. The large diameter armature adapts to many test requirements with a minimal amount of fixturing. High lateral and axial stiffness decrease problems associated with off-center loads. Unsupported horizontal operation is possible on many loads. The cooling blower is direct coupled to the shaker to give the maximum performance. An optional slip table is available for horizontal testing. Optional load supports allow testing loads with a high center of gravity. The suspension stiffness is adjustable. Electronic load compensation allows heavier loads.

VR4044  |  44F-lb System

The 44F-lb system is a permanent magnet shaker that features a direct coupled cooling blower to maximize the force available in a small package. The larger armature supports general vibration testing of components and subassemblies. High lateral and axial stiffness reduce problems associated with off-center loads. Unsupported horizontal operation is possible on many loads. A rare-earth magnet reduces the overall shaker weight for portable applications. The robust design of this shaker ensures a long service life, important when running extended duration testing.

VR4022  |  22F-lb System

The 22F-lb system is a permanent magnet shaker that is used for both modal and general-purpose testing. The compact size and light weight make a very portable package. This size is ideal for desktop applications. This lightweight armature shaker runs higher test levels without forced air cooling. It’s perfectly suited for testing of small transducers as well as electrical and mechanical assemblies. High lateral and axial stiffness reduce problems caused by off-center loads. Unsupported horizontal operation is possible on many loads. The frequency limit of 7,000Hz satisfies high frequency test requirements.
