The Quanser Shake Table I-40 is an open architecture bench-scale single-axis earthquake simulator ideal for teaching structural dynamics and control, earthquake engineering, and other control topics related to civil engineering. With pre-loaded acceleration profiles of actual earthquakes, such as Northridge and El-Centro, students can study their effects on buildings, bridges, and various materials.
The Shake Table I-40 consists of a stage mounted on a high-quality, low-backlash linear guide with a total travel of 40.0 mm and is driven using a ball-screw drive mechanism. The stage loaded with a 1.5 kg mass can be accelerated up to 1.0 g using the high torque direct drive motor. The high-resolution encoder enables the system to obtain a linear stage position resolution of 1.22 μm.
The following additional components are required to complete your workstation, and are available separately:
The Quanser Shake Table II is a mid-size open-architecture single-axis earthquake simulator ideal for teaching structural dynamics, vibration isolation, feedback control, and other control topics related to earthquake, aerospace and mechanical engineering.
The Shake Table II XY consists of two single-axis Shake Table II units mounted perpendicularly on top of each other. Each stage can travel ±7.6 cm. Driven by powerful motors, the Shake Table II XY can achieve an acceleration of 2.5 g when loaded with a 7.5 kg mass.
The Hexapod stands as a compact and robust six degrees of freedom parallel robotic motion platform, capable of high-acceleration movement handling up to 100 kg. Distinguishing itself from conventional Stewart platforms, this Hexapod utilizes advanced electrical motors, ensuring precision, responsiveness, and minimal maintenance.
