Modal Shakers
The Modal Shop’s modal shakers are a proven solution in test laboratories around the world. With force ratings from 4.5 to 100 lbf (20 to 440 N), these shakers are suitable for a wide range of modal analysis applications. When performing experimental modal analysis and structural testing, the choice of excitation function and system will make the difference between a good measurement and a poor one. For many applications, an electrodynamic shaker system is the ideal choice. The Modal Shop’s line of modal shakers is designed to be highly portable, rugged and easy to set up in order to facilitate the best testing results. The exciter size allows a diversity of placement locations relative to the test structure, while minimizing any unwanted interaction between the exciter and test structure.

Miniature Quartz Force Sensors
Often the test engineer will try to take low level measurements with a sensors not rated for these low levels. Due to insufficient sensitivity the resulting data may be noisy, hard to analyze or unusable. Using the appropriately sized and ranged PCB Miniature Quartz Force Sensor solves the problem and gives reliable data at a Low Amplitude level. The miniature sensor configuration permits low-amplitude, dynamic compression, tension, and impact force measurements.

ICP® Shock Accelerometers
Piezoelectric ICP® accelerometers afford a very high signal output (+/- 5 volts full scale) and the ease of two-wire electrical connectivity. Their inherent ruggedness enables them to be severely over ranged without damage. The addition of internal mechanical isolation minimizes the high frequency stress that would otherwise be encountered by their ceramic sensing elements. This mechanical isolation, coupled with an internal 2-pole electrical filter, built into the ICP® circuitry, tailors the overall accelerometer response to assure data quality to frequencies as high as 10 kHz. Depending on the specific model, accelerations in excess of 50 kg can be successfully measured. These modern designs, with their internal elastomeric isolation materials are verified through calibration to remain dynamically linear and are enabling piezoelectric accelerometers to operate in increasingly severe acceleration environments.

General Purpose Quartz Force Sensors
General purpose force sensors are offered in either stud or axial mounted configurations. They are internally pre-loaded and can be used for dynamic compression, tension, and impact force measurements. Tapped mounting holes on both ends of the radial connector style support link, platform, integrated link, and free-standing installations. The axial mounted type offers protection of the electrical connector and sensor cable from potential damage during drop testing and in free-standing installations. Supplied impact caps facilitate impact and drop force measurements.
