Sentek Dynamics’ Mini “Combo” Shaker & Controller Kit
The Sentek Dynamics’ Mini “Combo” Shaker is a small, portable 20 N (4.5 lbf) permanent magnet shaker with an integral power amplifier. The design eliminates the need for a separate, inconvenient power amplifier and attendant cables. The drive signal from most vibration controllers and signal generators can be directly connected to the BNC connector on the body of the shaker.

Sentek Dynamics’ mini “combo” shaker can be ordered with an optional slip table. The trunnion design allows the mini-shaker to be rotated and locked for testing in any of three axes.
