New Customer Laboratory System Launched in Everett, Washington
Exciting event this week. Kevin McIntosh, General Manager of the Vibration Test Systems Business Unit attended the opening of our customer’s new Engineering and Prototype Laboratory in Everett, Washington. The Continue Reading →
Understanding Shock Response Spectra
Shock Response Spectra (SRS) are now widely used in many industries. Data Physics analyzers and controllers make the process of measuring Shock Response Spectra and producing transients from a given Continue Reading →
Frequency Resolution in Random Vibration Control
Data Physics was the first to market very high resolution random control – 6400 lines of resolution. The use of narrowly spaced spectral lines in random control has both positive Continue Reading →
Virtual Probe Rotation with SignalCalc Turbo Version 2.0
The latest release of SignalCalc Turbo, version 2.0.198, includes a valuable new feature called Virtual Probe Rotation. Frequently requested by turbomachinery manufactures and rotating machinery engineers, Virtual Probe Rotation greatly Continue Reading →
The Importance of Dynamic Range in Vibration Control
Discussions about dynamic range are most often concerning dynamic signal analyzers. However, a large dynamic range is perhaps even more beneficial for closed loop vibration control. In vibration control applications, Continue Reading →
Why Do I Need a Drive Adapter for this Slip Table System?
A drive adapter is basically what its name states: an adapter that connects the shaker to the slip plate. The drive adapter provides a transition from the shaker’s armature pattern Continue Reading →
Cross Axial Stiffness and Moment Restraint
In the recent past, we have been asked by several customers, distributors, and employees, why the cross axial stiffness numbers for SignalForce shakers appear to be smaller than the numbers Continue Reading →
Understanding VI Curves and Their Significance
As each shaker is manufactured, Data Physics gathers Voltage vs. Current (VI) curves for that particular model. The VI curves show the voltage and current output from the amplifier to Continue Reading →
Leakage and Windowing Lab
This blog will provide simple steps allowing the use of a signal generator to create and observe “leakage”, and to apply windows and observe the effects on the frequency spectrum Continue Reading →
Durability Testing of Crankshafts
The Data Physics SignalStar Vector control system is commonly used in the automotive industry for durability testing of engine crankshafts. The crankshaft is an engine component that converts the reciprocating Continue Reading →
Voice Recording and Playback Feature
Voice Recording, available in Data Physics’ SignalCalc Dynamic Signal Analyzer and SignalStar Vibration Controller software as part of throughput to disk analysis, allows the user to utilize an input channel Continue Reading →
