General Description

VR580 Shaker

The VR580 is a high performance general purpose Electrodynamic Shaker which is well suited for a wide variety of vibration testing. This shaker features a lightweight armature which allows smaller test articles to be subjected to high frequencies and accelerations. At the same time, the large table and rugged armature suspension easily accommodate larger loads, thus eliminating or reducing external fixture guidance and support requirements. The unique side load restraint armature guidance system ensures that the suspension is axially compliant and radially rigid. Use of the latest high-tech composite materials provides reliable operation when large displacements are required, as in modal testing of large structures. In order to adapt the shaker to specific test requirements a host of options are available, including pneumatic payload support, a unitized shaker and slip table base, custom fixtures and low frequency trunnion isolation.
