Operating principles

The System is represented by hardware and software suite used for primary and periodical calibration of vibration transducers by means of comparison calibration with the reference vibration transducer in accordance with the applicable requirements.

The reference and the verified transducers are coaxially mounted on the vibration exciter. This allows to achieve identical acceleration level for both vibrational transducers. The readings of reference transducer are used to maintain the required acceleration level at the vibration exciter.

FFT Spectrum analyzer and task-specific software package “Calibration of vibration transducers” are used to control the vibration exciter and to measure the signals received from the vibration transducers. A power amplifier is used to connect the FFT Spectrum analyzer to the vibration exciter and the charge amplifiers are used to connect the vibration transducers to the FFT spectrum analyzer.

The program allows  to set the test parameters and to conduct calibration tests in accordance with the applicable requirements.

The measurements are conducted in automated mode. The parameters of the vibration transducers are calculated taking into consideration all the uncertainties.

Basic characteristics of calibration vibration exciter are shown below:

Parameter Value
Range of the replicated oscillations from 2 up to7 000 Hz
Maximum vibration displacement amplitude ± 5,5 mm
Range of vibration acceleration values (for vertical direction of vibrational impact) from 0,02 up to 441 m/s2
Basic relative uncertainty of the vibration exciter 3,4 %
Payload 1 kg

In order to extend the vibration exciter functional range, you can choose the vibration exciter model based on your particular task. FFT Spectrum analyzer ZET 017-U is compatible with all types of electrodynamic vibration exciters from various manufacturers.

If you already have a vibration exciter and you are going to conduct vibration transducer calibration in manual mode, you can perform the calibration in automated mode using FFT spectrum analyzer, the software “Vibration transducers calibration”, and, depending on the particular transducer type, charge amplifier ZET 440.

In the case, if you need a “turnkey” system solution, then, in addition to the FFT Spectrum and the software, the system should also incorporate the reference transducer and the vibration exciter. The selection of the system components should be based on the following criteria:

  • frequency range of the calibrated transducers;
  • amplitude range of the calibrated transducers;
  • types of the calibrated transducers;
  • necessary measurement accuracy.
