CTC Mounting Hardware & Accessories for Shaker Systems
SHAKER SYSTEM OVERVIEW
In research and development applications, a Shaker System is used to apply controlled vibration or motion to a product, component, or material so engineers and researchers can study how it behaves under real-world or simulated conditions.
Shaker Systems are used to for a variety of R&D applications, including: vibration testing and durability evaluation, modal analysis and structural dynamics, product and design validation, environmental and stress testing, electronics and sensor development, as well as failure analysis and root cause investigation. Shaker Systems add value to your R&D program by reducing costly redesigns after product launch, identifying improving reliability and product confidence, and supporting data-driven engineering systems.
SHAKER SYSTEM COMPONENTS
A complete shaker system typically includes:
- Shaker (electrodynamic, hydraulic, or mechanical)
- Power amplifier
- Controller and software
- Sensors (accelerometers, force transducers, etc.)
- Mounting hardware or fixture
Each component plays an important role in controlling and measuring the applied motion.
