Long Stroke Thrusters
Unholtz-Dickie Corporation (UD)
UD Long Stroke Thruster Systems are highly regarded as the industry standard for long stroke transient testing featuring large displacements from 6 to 24 inches (152 - 610 mm). This equipment is used in the design and production test of automotive airbag sensors by leading suppliers of automotive airbags and associative control modules. A specially configured 12 inch LS Thruster is available and used primarily by Telecommunications Companies for earthquake simulation and transportation replication applications.

The SA15-6X-S is regarded as an industry standard Long Stroke Thruster Test System. It is widely regarded as the workhorse for production testing of automotive AIRBAG sensors by leading suppliers of automotive airbags and associative control modules. The SA15-6X-S was designed to produce highly accurate and repeatable acceleration pulses in the horizontal plane; pulses such as classical haversine and half sine waveforms, and for simulating actual crash waveforms imported as ASCII amplitude/time history or as a transient capture. The long stroke capability and powerful SA Series power amplifier can reproduce crash waveforms with velocity changes up to 17 MPH.

Unholtz-Dickie offers the world’s first all air-cooled, electrodynamic long-stroke testers for telecommunications, earthquake simulation, and transportation applications. Up to 2,300 lbs (1,040 kg) of payload can be supported on a 48x48 inch (1.2 x 1.2 m) footprint on either the slip plate of the horizontal LS12H thruster or the bearing-guided head expander of the vertical LS12V unit. Both are driven by the highly reliable SAI120 SiC amplifier with an integrated switching cabinet for either vertical or horizontal testing. And because it’s an electrodynamic shaker, relatively high frequencies of up to 1,000 Hz can be achieved.
