Electrodynamic Vibration Systems
Electrodynamic vibration provides a worthwhile testing environment for transportation simulation, mechanical shock, mission profile, and Environmental Stress Screening (ESS). With dynamic factors such as displacement, velocity, acceleration and force, electrodynamic vibration is able to accurately simulate a wide range of conditions that can work to improve quality and reliability of many types of products. As closed loop vibration control systems, electrodynamic shakers can accurately reproduce real world vibration on products from the electronics, automotive, aerospace and military industries.
Used for both simulation and stimulation testing, products may be vibrated on as single axis or multiple axis consecutively. Electrodynamic shakers can run several categories of vibration including sine, random, resonance search and dwell, shock, sine-on-random, random-on-random among others.
Our newly redesigned electrodyanmic shakers, the DSX-Series are available in four different capacities and features highly durable, lightweight magnesium armatures and optical sensor-based dynamic centering to ensure the armature stays true to its course. For more information and specifications on the DSX Series, see the Specifications page.
As an innovator in the vibration market, Thermotron was the first and only company able to produce all of the components required for a turnkey vibration test system, including the amplifier, sliptables, head expanders, fixtures and even test chambers. Thermotron shakers are controlled by our exclusive VCS-3200 vibration control system. Updated for Windows XP®, VCS-3200 software is available for accurate sine, random, shock, resonance search and dwell, real data acquisition and playback (RDAP), random-on-random and sine-on-random capabilities. The Vibration Control software page discusses more of the features of the VCS-3200.
