Reference shaker
15 July 2014
New from Kistler Instruments, the Type 8921B reference shaker is a compact, portable vibration exciter designed to calibrate the sensitivity of accelerometers in both laboratory and field environments.

The rechargeable battery powered unit with automatic power-off is an easy to use method of verifying the sensitivity of accelerometers weighing up to 600 grams.
The shaker provides an accurate, controlled vibration level to verify the sensitivity of accelerometers or a complete measuring system traceable to a national standard. The internal control and excitation system provides a constant, precise frequency whilst a closed loop control maintains constant amplitude independent of the mass of the test article.
