Sensor test exciters

Characterization and testing of sensors

Sensor test exciters enable sensors to be characterized, tested and validated precisely under defined conditions. They are used in calibration laboratories and for quality assurance, as well as in research and development.

Our exciters cover a wide range of physical measurands, enabling the specific stimulation, testing and characterization of a variety of sensor types. Based on your requirements, you can choose from many SPEKTRA-developed and -manufactured exciters. Multiple shakers can also be combined to perform complex testing tasks in an efficient and reproducible way.

Typical application areas include the automotive industry, medical technology, the energy sector and wind power—among many others.

An easy introduction to the world of sensor testing

A sensor test exciter generates specific physical stimuli for checking sensor behavior. During the test, a known input quantity (e.g. vibration, shock or pressure) is produced and compared with the sensor signal.

Different systems are used depending on the requirements: vibration exciters are used for sinusoidal tests, shock exciters are used for impulse loads and specialized solutions are used for very low frequencies and large DUTs. The main differences lie in the frequency range, the type of excitation and the dynamics and load capacity of the systems.
