Description
The LDS® standard range of high-quality head expanders increases the capability of existing shaker systems by allowing users to increase the effective mounting surface compared to that of the armature, and thus accommodate larger payloads.
The head expanders have been designed using advanced finite element (FE) analysis modelling techniques and are cast from a high-strength magnesium alloy with excellent damping properties.
Each head expander is supplied complete with fasteners and fitting tools for immediate testing capability.
To enable use with environmental chambers, thermal barriers are available for each size in the range. Other insert patterns can be supplied to special order.
