The Simcenter™ Qsources hardware thumper shaker is a compact, low-frequency shaker intended for frequency response function (FRF) acquisition in the 5-to 200Hz range. The shaker typically replaces instrumented sledgehammer applications and is used when hammer excitation is not possible due to space constraints. The lack of any external support enables fast instrumentation, so there’s no longer any need to align the shaker, force sensor and test object. The shaker is mounted on a test structure with glued-on mounting studs with M8 thread. The shaker can be glued onto the test objecting any orientation.
