Model VR5800

The VR5800 is the largest of the current family of Vibration Research Corporation vibration test systems. Electrodynamic shaker systems consist of a shaker and a matching linear direct-coupled power amplifier. Additional components are then added to the basic system to tailor it to your specific needs. Your small system concerns deserve the same attention given to larger, more expensive system requirements. Unlike other manufacturers, Vibration Research Corporation has designed and manufactured both its shakers and matching amplifiers in-tandem. This insures that the components will provide optimal performance across the broad range of possible applications and that application and service information is available with one call to the source.

Model VR5500

The VR5500 is our most powerful permanent magnet shaker system. This system is intended for use when test specifications require full performance from the VR540 shaker. It is used for general purpose as well as modal testing because the linear power amplifier can be operated in either voltage or current source mode as test specifications require.

Model VR5400

The VR5400 is an excellent choice for modal testing due to the small shaker size, absence of cooling hoses and long stroke. Due to its compact size, this system is highly portable. The power amplifier has the option of being operated in the current source mode to facilitate modal testing. The large armature table facilitates general vibration testing of components and subassemblies with the amplifier in voltage mode.

Model VR5200

The VR5200 provides the maximum performance from a VR520 shaker without a cooling blower. It has excellent high frequency capabilities and is used for both modal and general purpose testing. Compact size and light weight make it a very portable desktop system. This is a popular choice when full force is not required from the VR520 shaker. This is upgradeable to the VR5300 system.
