Advantages of Servoelectric Single Axis Systems

Advantages of Servoelectric Single Axis Systems

Extended Stroke and Velocity

Pedestal-style servoelectric actuators provide longer strokes than electrodynamic shakers and achieve higher frequency response than servo-hydraulic systems.

  • Standard: >4m.s
  • High-performance: >8m/s
  • Thermal Management for Extended Testing

    Increased efficiency in converting electrical to mechanical energy, results in significantly lower heat generation. This improved efficiency reduces the size of the active cooling infrastructure, minimizes thermal loading on components, and contributes to lower overall operational costs.

    High-Frequency Capability

    Motor coherence up to 400 Hz enables test profiles that demand high dynamic response, exceeding the capabilities of servo-hydraulic actuators.

    Solid Welded Construction

    Precision CNC machined and ground surfaces to 0.0001” tolerances to ensure perfect alignment for system longevity. Nickel plating surfaces resist long-term corrosion better than zinc, powder-coating or paint.

    Force Range and Modular Design

    Modular motor configurations deliver peak dynamic forces from 1 kN to 108 kN, independent of static load. Systems are available in both vertical and horizontal orientations. Vertical shakers include a coaxially mounted air spring that supports static loads without limiting dynamic performance.

    Nanometer-Level Accuracy

    Integrated displacement feedback systems offer <10 nm resolution, supporting high-precision test requirements.

    Sideload Capacity

    Outboard bearings significantly improve sideload tolerance, outperforming comparable servohydraulic systems in lateral stability and reliability.

    Pneumatic Support

    Patented Integrated high volume Air-bag pneumatic support system for no maintenance and long-term durability.

    Internal Motor Cooling

    Internal motor cooling allows higher continuous force capacity to run extended or durability test profiles

    High Fidelity

    High fidelity 32-bit closed-loop control ensures smooth, accurate motion across all test speeds, without switching valve types or control strategies.

    Application-Specific Software

    Integrated with eMpulse controls that feature application-specific software, seaPLUS single axis shakers are ideal for field data reproduction, sine sweep, or Power Spectral Density (PSD) profile replication.

    Efficient, Clean Operation

    Direct-drive electric motion is up to 80% more efficient than hydraulics, with no fluid handling, reduced maintenance, and a cleaner test environment.

    Integrated Safety Features

    These features are built into the control architecture to ensure operator safety and specimen integrity during every test cycle. Every system includes comprehensive safety monitoring:

  • Safe Limited Speed (SLS)
  • Safe Limited Acceleration (SLA)
  • Absolute encoder fault detection
  • Safe Torque Off (STO)
  • Internal motor/drive temperature monitoring
  • Customizable specimen-specific protection limits
