MODAL 50A
Excitation Made Easy!
THE EXCITER - #1 SELLING WORLDWIDE
"The MODAL 50A along with MB's MODAL APPLICATIONS
EXPERTISE have revolutionized modal testing!" This Exciter was
designed by a team of world-respected modal testers, including
University of Cincinnati professors, to eliminate problems
encountered when using traditional shakers for modal tests. The
MODAL 50A slashes setup time to a minimum! Conveniences in
fixturing and setup like the clearance hole through the armature
and shaker and a collet chuck for gripping a threadless stinger
make easy the attachment of the MODAL 50A to a test structure.
50 pounds dynamic force from an Exciter weighing little more than
50 lbs makes it portable and easy to setup by one person.
THE COMPANY - UNIQUELY QUALIFIED
MB's three principals (SDRC alumni) have over seven decades of combined experience performing extensive dynamic
testing - both in the USA and Europe. These experienced test veterans have solved real-world test challenges, and have
helped hundreds of new and experienced modal testers alike properly apply the right excitation source to achieve good
modal data faster! Choosing an MB Modal Exciter gains you access to applications experience unsurpassed in the
marketplace today ... whether you need custom-tailored testing solutions ... on-site consulting ... seminars on theory,
applications, excitation ... practical hints for acquiring valid modal data ... you'll get it with MB Modal Exciters.
APPLICATIONS EXPERTS - BEHIND EVERY EXCITER
The MODAL 50A (and multiples thereof) is ideal for exciting
structures smaller than say, a full-size automobile. Total
vehicle modal tests on anything larger (truck, jet, even a
space shuttle) requires multiple MODAL 50A's or the MODAL
250A.
Modal testing of structures needs an Exciter that is highly
portable and easy to setup and operate. The lightweight,
compact MODAL 50A was designed with these needs in
mind. A center bore extending through the armature,
housing, trunnion base, and inertial masses allows a stinger
to be easily positioned along its axis. It may then be placed
as close to the test article as desired and the chuck tightened
down to grip the stinger firmly. The stinger need not be cut
off, thus retaining flexibility for future use in different
orientations and applications.
The ideal stinger would be infinitely stiff in the axial direction and have no bending stiffness. Since this is not possible, it
can be approached with a pre-loaded thin wire. Replacing the 1/8" stinger with piano wire is easy by simply changing one
of the collets provided in the Accessory Kit. Once installed, the wire can be pre-loaded using bungy cord and a small
block pulley. An oscillatory force of 50 pounds keeps the tension in the stinger while delivering peak dynamic force. This
virtually eliminates measurement errors due to bending moments and side loads that can result when using compression
loading of traditional stingers.
