XCITE 1300 Laboratory Series

1300 Laboratory Series
The Xcite 1300 Laboratory Series is used in applications where longer stroke and extremely high forces are required to determine the modal characteristics of flexible structures such as truck suspensions and engine mounts, transit vehicles, locomotives, drag lines, backhoes, cranes and large electrical generating apparatus. The 15 GPM Hydraulic Power Supply of these systems allows frequency responses in the 100 Hz to 500 Hz range while the larger exciters generate forces to 20,000 lbf.

This series is used primarily in heavy industrial applications such as nuclear power generating plants and foundries for foundation and bearing pedestal dynamic testing. The 1300 Series has also been used in shipboard applications for testing of major propulsion equipment foundations, mounts, drive shafts and propellers.
