AT2030 Portable Calibration Shaker
A portable calibration shaker that produces a known, traceable vibration signal in g’s, mils or ips from a battery-powered case you can carry. Calibrate and check accelerometers, proximity probes, monitoring systems and wiring on site, from 5 Hz to 10 kHz, without the complexity of advanced features.
How it works
A known input, held by closed-loop control.
A quartz reference accelerometer under the shaker head measures the real motion. It’s calibrated back-to-back against a laser-calibrated primary reference.
Digital closed-loop control compares that measurement with your target and adjusts the drive, while PureWave™ distortion correction actively cancels up to 30 harmonics, so the level stays put as you change frequency or mount a heavier sensor. Mount your sensor, read it on your own meter, analyzer or monitoring system, and compare it with the level on screen. THD and mass load are shown live, so a loose mount or an overloaded head shows up straight away.Specifications
