Product Overview
The trainer covers a wide range of topics in mechanical vibration technology. It is mounted on a sturdy, low-vibration frame. Quick fastening elements for the formed grooves allow quick and accurate experimental set-up.
The apparatus consists of different sections concerned with vibration study: different type of pendulums study, spring mass vibrations, rigid beam vibration (free and forced, as well as damped and un-damped), flexible beam vibrations, and rigid beam vibration free and forced with unbalance excitation.
The apparatus is installed with different pendulums, including 6 pendulums of different sizes and materials: steel ball small diameter, steel ball large diameter, wood ball large diameter, compound pendulum, compound wood pendulum, and bifilar pendulum.
In the spring mass vibration section, users can study Hooke’s law through a free hanged spring vibration study. Different masses can be changed to study the behavior of the spring mass system.
In the beam vibrations section, forced vibration is generated with an electrical motor-driven imbalance exciter. There are two types of exciter in this apparatus: a linear exciter with servo motor and driver, and a DC rotary exciter. The exciter frequency can be set precisely on a control unit with digital display.
An adjustable oil damper is used as a vibration absorber. A mechanical drum and a polar diagram recorder record the vibration. All parts of the apparatus are stored in a storage tray supplied with the equipment.
The optional sensor enables electrical measurement of the amplitudes of various oscillators. Alternatively, measured values can be evaluated with software for data acquisition if the Data Acquisition Based System is selected (optional). This Universal Vibration Apparatus is designed to support a broad range of vibration experiments in a single trainer.

Construction and Design
The Universal Vibration Apparatus – Vibrano X – 06 is mounted on a sturdy, low-vibration aluminum profiled frame with an internal size of 900mm x 700mm and a groove width of 10mm. Quick fastening elements engage the formed grooves for accurate experimental set-up. The trainer is organized into sections covering pendulum studies, spring mass vibrations, rigid beam vibration, and flexible beam vibrations.
Six pendulums of different sizes and materials are installed, including steel balls, a wooden ball, a compound pendulum, a wooden pendulum, and a bifilar pendulum. The spring mass vibration section uses a free hanged spring with interchangeable masses. The rigid beam is made of stainless steel, sized 700 x 29 x 11mm.
Forced vibration is generated using an electrical motor-driven imbalance exciter. Two exciter types are fitted: a linear exciter with servo motor and driver, and a DC rotary exciter. Exciter frequency is set precisely through a control unit with digital display. An adjustable oil damper made of aluminum with steel components acts as the vibration absorber. A mechanical drum recorder and a polar diagram recorder, both using a spring loaded pen plotter, record vibration output. This Universal Vibration Apparatus stores all its parts in a supplied storage tray for organized handling.
