Performance

The SE-13 was designed to drive devices under test (DUT) with a weight up to 50 kg (110 lbs) to velocity amplitudes typical of those found in seismic specifications. As part of a primary calibration system, e.g. CS Q-LEAP™, such DUT can be excited down to 0.05 Hz with a well-controlled amplitude. On the other hand the SE-13 allows to excite geophones and similar transducers for the measurement of vibration immissions precisely up to high frequencies (e.g. 315 Hz) with a sufficient vibration velocity amplitude due to the high rated force (500 N) of the exciter. Typical performance diagrams of the SE-13 vibration exciter are exemplified in the graphs below. These diagrams represent the maximum velocity and acceleration for various payloads that can be achieved on the table.
