Performance

Acceleration performance of the APS 113-AB shaker with various mass loads is shown in the lower graph.

Acceleration with various mass loads

APS 0109

APS 0109

Zero Position Controller

The APS 0109 automatically controls the zero position of a vibration exciter irrespective of its load. It is essential to employ a position controller of type APS 0109 especially when working with an air-bearing vibration shaker without any integrated automatic load-compensation.
