Description

Designed for long, trouble-free operation, Vibration Exciter Type 4808 is a high-quality
compact machine with a permanent magnetic field. It has a force rating of 112 newton
(25 lbf) enabling relatively heavy loads to be excited to high g levels. The 4808 will
normally be driven by Power Amplifier Type 2719 rated at 180 VA but can also be driven
by any amplifier up to a maximum input current of 15 A RMS without assisted cooling.
The moving element is supported by a robust rectilinear guidance system consisting
of grouped radial and transverse flexures in a unique construction. The flexures are
made from a bonded sandwich of spring steel and a damping elastomer, providing a
clean acceleration waveform with low cross motion and low distortion characteristics.
