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

VR5800 | 500F-lb SystemThe 500F-lb pk system uses a larger shaker with a large 6-inch diameter armature table making it easy to adapt to almost any test requirement with a minimum of fixturing. The high lateral stiffness carbon composite armature suspension reduces problems associated with off-center loads and allows unsupported horizontal operation with many loads. The system is equipped with a degauss coil to ensure low stray magnetic field for sensitive applications. The modular, air-cooled amplifier is direct coupled to the shaker to give the maximum performance at low and high frequencies. Digital meters display the system operating levels and complete shaker and external interlocks help protect the system from accidental abuse. Oil film slip table base systems are available for larger and heavier loads or loads with high centers of gravity. |

VR5800-BSR | 250F-lb SystemThe 250F-lb system uses a larger shaker with the blower removed in a lower force output system. The system offers the benefit of a larger shaker at a reduced price to give maximum performance at low and high frequencies. The added DC power supply generates a clean, quiet field and allows for tests to be run at incredibly low amplitude and sound levels. Dual meters display the system operating levels and complete shaker and user interlocks help protect the system from accidental abuse. Oil film slip table base systems are available for larger and heavier loads or loads with high centers of gravity. |
|
VR5700 | 225F-lb SystemThe 225F-lb system utilizes the shaker in a lower force output system. Suitable for larger loads that don’t require high vibration levels, the system offers the benefits of the larger shaker at a reduced price to give the maximum performance at low and high frequencies and can be easily switched from voltage source mode, for general testing, to current source mode for modal testing applications. Dual meters display the system operating levels and complete shaker and user interlocks help protect the system from accidental abuse. Oil film slip table base systems are available for larger and heavier loads or loads with high centers of gravity. |
 |
VR5600 | 110F-lb SystemThe 110F-lb pk system is our strongest compact linear amplifier shaker system. The 3-inch diameter armature table is suitable for larger loads that require high vibration levels. The shaker’s full 1-inch armature stroke capability is ideal for many modal as well as low and high frequency general applications. The air-cooled linear amplifier is direct coupled to the shaker to give the maximum performance at low and high frequencies and can be easily switched from voltage source mode, for general testing, to current source mode for modal testing applications. Dual meters display the system operating levels and complete shaker and user interlocks help protect the system from accidental abuse. A lateral flexure table base system is available for larger and heavier loads or loads with a high center of gravity. |
|
VR5500 | 75F-lb SystemThe 75F-lb pk system is our strongest linear amplifier permanent magnet field shaker system. The 3-inch diameter armature table is suitable for larger loads that require high vibration levels. The shaker’s full 1-inch armature stroke capability is ideal for many modal as well as low frequency general applications. The air-cooled linear amplifier is direct coupled to the shaker to give the maximum performance at low and high frequencies and can be easily switched from voltage source mode for general testing to current source mode for modal testing applications. Dual meters display the system operating levels and complete shaker and user interlocks help protect the system from accidental abuse. A guided flexure table base system is available for larger or heavier loads and loads with a higher center of gravity. |
 |
VR4044 | 44F-lb SystemThe 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 SystemThe 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. |
 |
VR5200HF | 13F-lb SystemThe 13F-lb pk system is a rugged, full featured, small permanent magnet shaker. It is ideally suited for the production screening of small components, engineering design verification/evaluation, or for larger transducer calibration systems. The shaker features a 2.125-inch diameter table with multiple attachment points, and an extraordinary 0.5-inch stroke. It has a linearly compliant armature suspension that is also suitable for modal testing with a current source amplifier. The High Frequency version with its slightly heavier armature has an extended full force frequency range of up to 14KHz with operation to 20KHz at 7lbf pk sine, and a dual thread center mounting hole with #10-32 threads for mounting accelerometers and other vibration transducers. Available in two different impedance ranges, the VR5200-HF series are easily matched to most amplifiers yielding the maximum system performance. |
