APS 400
ELECTRO-SEIS® Long-Stroke vibration exciter with 445 N max. force that is suitable for excitation of large structures such as ceilings or bridges.
Product details
- Overhung load at armature attachment point, max. 9.0 kg (20 lbs)
- Direction of excitation: vertical or horizontal
For further details, please refer to the technical data sheet. Subject to change without notice.
Performance
Performance is given in the form of graphs which present the envelopes of maximum force and velocity delivered to a resonant structure as functions of the
resonance frequency of the structure.
Another application is the excitation for sensor calibration. Acceleration envelopes of the APS 400 ELECTROSEIS® shaker with various mass loads are shown in this graph for the 445 N rating.

PA 800 DM
For all vibration exciters that require a 810 VA power amplifier (load impedance 2.5 Ω). The PA 800 DM offers a max. frequency range DC ... 25 kHz, small harmonic distortion, excellent stability even with temperature or supply line variations and helpful protection functions.
APS Auxiliary Table Kits
Enhance your shaker system’s versatility with auxiliary mounting tables that provide a stable platform for both horizontal and vertical setups.
Designed to accommodate components, model structures, accelerometers and other low-frequency sensors, they enable precise, dependable vibration testing across a wide range of applications.
APS Reaction Mass
Reaction masses for APS exciters — compatible with models APS 113, APS 400 and APS 420 — extend performance into lower frequency ranges while allowing either horizontal or vertical force to be applied directly through the shaker body.
With an armature weight of 13.2 kg (29 lb) and a total system weight of 47 kg (103 lb), they provide the stability and inertia needed for precise, controlled excitation. Using two blocks, sufficient reaction mass is achieved to deliver the rated force down to 1.8 Hz, even in free body mode.
APS Handles & Bars
Handles suitable for vibration exciter APS 113, APS 400 and APS 420 vibration exciters.

APS 113
Ball-bearing ELECTRO-SEIS® Long-Stroke vibration exciter specifically designed to be used alone or in arrays for modal excitation of complex structures, particularly when low frequencies are required. Different operating modes with reaction masses, fixing points or auxiliary table kits multiply the application possibilities.
APS 420
The strongest ELECTRO-SEIS® Long-Stroke vibration exciter to date is used for vibration tests of airplanes and other large structures. With a maximum force of 900 N and up to 150 mm stroke the shaker unlocks a new performance level.
APS 4001
The APS 4001 - Horizontal Reaction Mass System provides a means of extending the rated force output for the APS 400 exciter to frequencies as low as 0.5 Hz.
This reaction mass allows the shaker armature to be connected through the base plate to the structure under test.
