Simultaneous Three-Axis (MA-Series) Shakers*

10 - 60 kN (2200 - 13,200 lbf)

multi axis vibration test system

Real-world vibration happens in all directions and thus it is necessary to test a DUT in all three axes simultaneously. The MA Series of three-axis shakers is built to support this vibration testing need.

Key Applications:

  • Testing in accordance with MIL-STD-810G Method 527 requirements

  • Testing in accordance with IEEE-344 multi-axis vibration testing

  • Vibration qualification testing for aerospace/military components and systems

  • Automotive NVH/BSR and component testing

 Features/Advantages

  • Simulates real-world vibration requirements

  • Reveals different DUT response dynamics under simultaneous multi-axis excitation that are not possible during single-axis vibration testing

  • Identifies unique failures which could not occur during single-axis vibration testing

  • Reduces testing time by two-thirds for significant cost savings over single-axis vibration testing

  • Can be integrated with Sentek Dynamics’ THV Series environmental test chambers

Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Control

Sentek Dynamics’ MA Series simultaneous 3-axis systems use the Crystal Instruments’ Spider System vibration controller for advanced MIMO vibration test control.  The Spider System recreates multiple degree-of-freedom vibration environments in the testing laboratory and provides all required control types including MIMO Random, MIMO Sine, MIMO TWR, and more. For more information regarding the Spider System see the Vibration Controllers section or contact the Sentek Dynamics’ sales office.

*Systems tested & assembled in the USA now available. Contact sales for details.
