Unholtz-Dickie T4000 Shaker, 178kN PREMIUM

The Beyond Gravity Test Center is equipped with three shakers allowing the testing of payloads with different sizes and weight under a wide range of forces and external conditions.

The Vibration Systems available at Beyond Gravity perform both vertical and horizontal tests and offer advanced measurement technologies. For all the shakers a large variety of different head expanders, slip tables, adapters and angle support structures are available to support all kind of test configurations.

The T4000 Series, one of the most modern and advanced equipment, is designed to operate over a wide force range covering moderate to extreme test conditions and accommodating small to large test payloads. Samples up to 1800 kg dependent on their configuration can be tested vertically with forces of 178 kN in vibration mode and 534 kN in shock mode. In horizontal direction much higher masses can be tested.

Largest and strongest shaker in Switzerland.
