We develop and manufacture our shakers entirely in-house to provide you with the highest quality, reliability, and a perfect match for your requirements. They enable the targeted excitation of a wide variety of dynamic measurands, such as vibration, shock, acoustics, or rotational rate—and thus serve as the ideal foundation for precise testing and calibration. Thanks to their modular design, they can be seamlessly integrated into existing test and calibration setups. This way, they support you throughout the entire sensor lifecycle—from development to application.
Whether MEMS sensors, accelerometers, IMUs, or seismometers: Our exciters are designed for a wide range of sensor types and applications. They are used for both testing and calibration, and in some cases even for the modal excitation of large structures. All these shakers have one thing in common: they deliver precise stimulus and reliable results across a wide range of industries—from automotive and aerospace to energy, research and industrial quality assurance.

What is an exciter, and how does it work?
A shaker is a system designed to generate controlled mechanical or physical excitations with defined characteristics. The goal is to test or calibrate sensors, components, or complete measurement chains under reproducible conditions. Depending on their design, exciters generate movements in the form of sinusoidal, random, or transient signals, covering a range of frequencies and amplitudes.
Typically, electrodynamic shakers are based on the principle of interaction between electric current and a magnetic field. This generates a precisely controllable motion. In combination with the appropriate control and regulation technology, precisely defined excitation profiles can be realized. This is crucial for the traceability, comparability, and accuracy of measurement results, particularly in demanding test and calibration tasks.
