SE-21T

High frequency vibration exciter with cubic armature

Particularly well-suited for sensor characterization of MEMS structures in climate chambers, the SE-21T offers powerful excitation in all axes thanks to its with cube-shaped ceramic armature and powerful electrodynamic drive system, very wide frequency range and low transverse motion. A high payload and the many extensions enable the SE-21T 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.
