High-g-Vibration-Exciters
New High-g-Vibration-Exciters fill the Gap between Standard Calibration Shakers and Shock Exciters


Common vibration exciters for calibration and sensor characterization available on the market are capable to provide acceleration amplitudes up to 100 gn (1,000 m/s2) only. To apply higher amplitudes in a “metrological quality” shock exciters are commonly used. But the transient shocks have a rather broad spectrum that can contain spectral components close to the resonance frequency of the device under test (DUT). Thus calibration or measurement results can depend strongly on the properties of the shock exciter. In the worst case the DUT may even be destroyed by the shock. But how do you check amplitude linearity of a DUT that is not designed for higher frequencies? And if the result of a shock calibration depends on the properties of the transient shock signal, wouldn’t it be better to calibrate even sensors designed for shock measurements on a vibration exciter? There seems to be a gap between conventional vibration exciters and shock exciters in the amplitude range above 100 gn (1.000 m/s2) inhibiting such measurements. This article introduces two new vibration exciters that can fill this gap and shows the results of amplitude linearity checks of an acceleration sensor up to 500 gn (5,000 m/s2).

SPEKTRA expands engineering service business
Range of applications could be significantly expanded


Since the establishment of SPEKTRA fifteen years ago engineering services were always one of our strongest business segments. Within the last years the range of applications could be significantly expanded. Especially investigations and design services regarding the appropriate integration of accelerometers into newly designed customer devices becomes a growing business.

CS 18 data base
Easier and more comfortable administration of Calibration data

Easier and more comfortable administration of Calibration data
SPEKTRA developed an additional option for our customers having CS 18 calibration systems. This can be added to the standard version.
All data concerning calibration of sensors etc. can be stored in this data base and handled comfortable. The results are
descriptively representable and can be illustrated in curves.
A user administration helps besides to setup different access possibilities for the employees.
The data base is already in use by some customers with very positive feedback.

 

Our laboratory has
been accredited by:


DKD-K-27801
