B&K Type 4828 Exciter

Designed for demanding, experimental modal testing and delivering a force ratings up to 650 N (146 lbf) for Type 4827 and 1000 N (225 lbf) for Type 4828. These exciters enable high-precision, single- and multiple-point excitation of extra-large devices (such as locomotives, industrial turbines, heavy-duty pumps or aerospace assemblies).

Description

The most powerful of our modal exciters, Types 4827 and 4828 offer precise and reliable operation in any modal testing scenario, including long-duration tests of outsized mechanical structures as well as applications with MISO and MISO configurations. Suitable for impulse, sine and random signals, they also have a wide frequency range (2 – 5000 Hz) and a peak-to-peak displacement of 50.8 mm (2 in).
