SW1500 Vibration Test System (up to 3 kN) - RMS

Product Description

The SW1500 from RMS is an air-cooled electrodynamic vibration test system built for testing small, lightweight objects at high frequencies. It is described as “very stimulating and extremely reliable,” and is a popular choice for applications such as turbochargers, motor add-on parts, sensor testing and plug connections.

The system can excite test specimens at frequencies up to 5 kHz, which makes it equally suitable for calibrating measurement sensors and for structural analysis as a modal exciter. A wear-free return spring system delivers high transverse rigidity while still allowing a comparatively large displacement amplitude of 20 mm pk-pk, and the design needs no rollers or roller-like accessories.

Key Features

  • Up to 3 kN sine and random force, up to 5 kN shock force
  • Frequency range up to 5 kHz
  • Maximum velocity of 2.5 m/s
  • Large displacement amplitude of 20 mm pk-pk with high transverse rigidity
  • Air-cooled for simple installation and operation
  • Automatic weight compensation guarantees full travel amplitude even with high payloads
  • Wear-free return spring system with no rollers required
  • Operates both horizontally and vertically

With its high frequency capability and compact, air-cooled design, the SW1500 is ideally suited to laboratories testing small components and to metrology applications such as accelerometer and sensor calibration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What force levels can the SW1500 deliver?
The SW1500 provides up to 3 kN of sine and random force and up to 5 kN of shock force, making it well suited to small and lightweight test specimens.
What is the frequency range of the SW1500?
The system operates at frequencies up to 5 kHz, which makes it suitable for high-frequency excitation tasks such as sensor calibration and modal analysis.
What kinds of test objects is the SW1500 designed for?
It is designed for small, light test objects such as turbocharger components, motor add-on parts, sensors and plug connections, where high-frequency excitation is required.
How is the SW1500 cooled?
The SW1500 is air-cooled, which enables simple installation and straightforward operation of the vibration system without the need for a water-cooling circuit.
How does the SW1500 maintain full travel amplitude under load?
It uses automatic weight compensation to guarantee the full travel amplitude (20 mm pk-pk) even with heavier payloads, together with a wear-free return spring system that needs no rollers and offers high transverse rigidity.
Can the SW1500 be operated in different orientations?
Yes. The SW1500 can be operated both horizontally and vertically, with a maximum velocity of 2.5 m/s, so it can be configured to match the test specimen and laboratory layout.
