XCITE 1200 Laboratory Series

The Xcite 1200 Series provides medium levels of force for testing vehicles such as trucks, locomotives, off road construction equipment and power generation equipment such as turbines and generator rotors, stators and bearings. The larger force capability is still coupled with a frequency response in the 500 Hz to 1000 Hz range for modal studies of highly damped and non-linear structures.

The 1200 Series systems are used extensively in the automotive industries for component and system sub-assembly modal testing for correlation of damping and non-linear characteristics with simulation models.

Xcite 1200-3 Laboratory System

This system consists of the 1215-8-T/C Exciter Head, 1204-MOD4 Master Controller, and the 1201B Hydraulic Power Supply.

Xcite 1200-3 Laboratory System Graph

Note: The above force curve is for the Xcite 1215 Head used in Tension/Compression mode with ZERO STATIC FORCE and the load cell rigidly connected to the structure for “PUSH/PULL” operation. In Compression mode only with 1000 lbs of Static Force the curves are derated to a maximum of 900-1000 lbs Peak Dynamic. (Depending on the structure stiffness of the test article).

Xcite 1200-6 Laboratory System

This system consists of the 1207-8-T/C Exciter Head, 1204-MOD4 Master Controller, and the 1201B Hydraulic Power Supply.
