SE-20

Vibration Exciter

Innovative spring-guided vibration exciter with leading technology as part of the SE-2X exciter series

The SE-20 offers a very wide frequency range, low transverse motion, a wide temperature range and high payload (e.g. for geophones). In addition to high quality components, the focus is on a broad range of applications and easy implementation in existing test environments. The shaker can be operated vertically and horizontally and requires no compressed air supply or zero-position control.
