Air-bearing long stroke vibration exciter APS 129

Air-bearing ELECTRO-SEIS® Long Stroke Vibration Exciter with mounting table for high payloads up to 23 kg. Especially developed for the calibration and testing of big and heavy low frequency sensors as well as for sensor characterization (e.g. geophones or heavy seismic sensors).

Specifications

The APS 129 ELECTRO-SEIS® air bearing shaker is a long stroke, electrodynamic force generator specifically designed to be used for calibration and evaluation of accelerometers and other motion transducers. It provides excellent properties for low frequency excitation of such devices. The shaker consists of an air bearing drive attached to an air bearing mounting table that allows high payloads up to 23 kg (50 lbs) e.g. for the calibration of geophones and heavy seismic sensors.

Applications:

  • calibration and test for seismic instruments
    like geophones and heavy seismic sensors
  • seismic simulation for components

Rang of use:

  • geological services, science, physics and
    seismic applications
  • calibration and evaluation of accelerometers
    and other motion transducers

Features:
