B&K Type 5961 Exciter

Hand-held Exciter Type 5961 combines the versatility of a shaker test for optimizing the excitation signal to the test at hand with the mobility of an impact hammer test for easily roving around the test structure. While an impact hammer test is fast and easy to perform, the high crest factor has the potential to drive the structure into non-linear behaviour.

Description

Uses

  • Excitation of small structures:
    – General vibration testing
    – Mechanical impedance and mobility measurements
    – Experimental modal analysis
  • Tests where hand-held operation is ideal:
    – Field measurements
    – Troubleshooting
    – Fast investigations
  • Permanent lab setups with a fixed exciter position using fixtures and stingers

Features

  • The mobility of hammer testing combined with the broad range of excitation signals of shaker testing
  • Compact and lightweight design
  • Battery operation, no separate power amplifier or connection to mains power
  • Hand-held operation, requires no elaborate fixturing
  • Frequency range: 45 Hz to 15 kHz
  • Force range: 2 N peak (0.310 N RMS)
