Model 2016  Electrodynamic Shaker

The Glotech/Ling Model 2016 Shaker is the generation of closed-loop, water-cooled shakers. The 2016 can be configured with the DMA4020E for an “endure performance” system rated at 18,000 lbf Sine and 13,000 lbf Random; with the DMA4016E for 20,000 lbf Sine and 16,000 Random; or the DMA4020E and a chiller when a full 20,000 lbf Random force rating is required.
The shaker is mounted in a standard, low-profile trunnion base and can be rotated 90 degrees for horizontal operation and 180 degrees for easy maintenance. The 2016 utilizes Ling’s Comp-FlexTM flexures constructed of state-of-the-art composite carbon material that provides long life, reliable operation, and excellent stability. Installed in a flat configuration with foreshortening compensation, the Comp-Flex system delivers a full 2.0 inch (50.8mm) continuous stroke.
Designed for heavy-duty service, the 2016’s dual hydrostatic bearings reduce cross-axis motion and allow heavy side loading.
Ling’s unique OPCS-100 optical centering system controls the pneumatic load support system and automatically centers the armature and test specimens in the vertical axis with loads up to 2,000 pounds (907 kg).
The newly designed double-ended magnetic field structure is water-cooled for high efficiency. The continuously wound copper field coils are highly reliable with no internal joints or connections. The armature combines a stiff, cast-aluminum structure with a lightweight, hollow aluminum driver coil. The low-mass coil allows the testing of heavy specimens with minimal change in axial resonance frequency, remaining above 2,000 Hz with a 1,000 pound load.
