Simultaneous Three-Axis (MA-Series) Shakers
10 - 60 kN (2200 - 13,200 lbf)
Real-world vibration happens in all directions and thus it is necessary to test a DUT in all three axes simultaneously. The MA Series of three-axis shakers is built to support this vibration testing need.
Key Applications:
Testing in accordance with MIL-STD-810G Method 527 requirements
Testing in accordance with IEEE-344 multi-axis vibration testing
Vibration qualification testing for aerospace/military components and systems
Automotive NVH/BSR and component testing
Features/Advantages
Simulates real-world vibration requirements
Reveals different DUT response dynamics under simultaneous multi-axis excitation that are not possible during single-axis vibration testing
Identifies unique failures which could not occur during single-axis vibration testing
Reduces testing time by two-thirds for significant cost savings over single-axis vibration testing
Can be integrated with Sentek Dynamics’ THV Series environmental test chambers
Option available to order systems tested and assembled from Kannapolis, North Carolina (USA). Contact sales for details.
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Control
Sentek Dynamics’ MA Series simultaneous 3-axis systems use the Crystal Instruments’ Spider System vibration controller for advanced MIMO vibration test control. The Spider System recreates multiple degree-of-freedom vibration environments in the testing laboratory and provides all required control types including MIMO Random, MIMO Sine, MIMO TWR, and more. For more information regarding the Spider System see the Vibration Controllers section or contact the Sentek Dynamics’ sales office.
