SE-21
Powerful high-frequency exciter as part of the SE-2X series with cube-shaped ceramic armature for excitation of all DUT axes.
With its electrodynamic drive system, the SE-21 offers a very wide frequency range with low transverse motions. A high payload, simple operation in a climatic chamber (as SE-21T) and the many extensions enable the SE-21 to be used as a multi-tool for testing, characterizing and calibrating vibration sensors or smaller electronic devices.

Performance
The diagrams below show the performance of the SE-21 and SE-21T for operation alternating between 10 minutes at full load and 10 minute breaks (blue graph). Performance may vary for different cycles. The yellow graph shows acceleration values that can be safely used during continuous operation.
At 2 kHz, you can see a boost in the maximum acceleration. This is due to a new bearing design which minimizes transverse motion over the whole frequency range and reduces the moving mass above 2 kHz, thereby allowing for increased acceleration at equal force.

PA 500 DM
This specially designed power amplifier offers a max. frequency range DC...200 kHz, small harmonic distortion, excellent stability even with temperature or supply line variations and helpful protection functions.
For all vibration exciters that require a 500 VA power amplifier (load impedance 4 Ω).
