1) Introduction
The DYN-MS-440 is designed to provide dynamic force excitation for
modal testing of mechanical structures.
The DYN-MS-440 is a compact, lightweight and powerful general purpose
electrodynamic shaker providing up to 440 N peak sine force.
2) General Information
2.1) Unpacking and Inspection
Dynalabs products provide adequate protection for undamaged products to be
transported. Document the damages that occur indirectly during the transport
and contact the customer representative. Check all components of the shaker.
If there is a defect, please contact us.
2.2) System Components
The DYN-MS-440 has the following components:
- Electrodynamic Shaker
- Amplifier (DYN-SA-1100)
- Cooling Unit (Blower + Hose + Hose connection adapter + R 1/2 Pneumatic
union)
- Power Cables (For Shaker + For Amplifier)
- Signal Cable
- Stinger Set
- Fuse
- User Manual
2.3) Theory of Operation
DYN-MS-440 is an electro-magnetic actuator. Electro-magnetic actuators
are basically voice coils consisting of a permanent magnet and coil. The
moving element can be the coil or the magnet depending on the design
requirements. The moving element is usually suspended by an elastic
membrane.
DYN-MS-440 has a moving coil (driving coil) whose current is controlled
for vibration generation. The stationary magnetic field is produced by a
permanent magnet.

3) Operation and Installation
3.1) General
Refer to the figure below that shows the shaker connector configuration. Connect
the shaker/amplifier cable to the shaker and amplifier. Connect the drive signal
cable to the signal generator and connect the power cable of the amplifier. Then
turn on the amplifier by pushing the on/off button. To increase gain up, turn the
gain knob in clockwise direction. The user must turn off the gain button in order
to power down the shaker.

3.2) Amplifier
DYN-MS-440 uses an external power amplifier for drive signal
amplification. Please note the wiring of the power amplifier given below.
3.2.1) Amplifier General

All rights reserved. Reproduction or issue to third parties in any form whatsoever is not permitted without written authority from the proprietors.
10
3.2.2) Amplifier Internal Signal
The amplifier can generate sine signal from 1Hz to 15kHz with 1 Hz
increments that the user can adjust with the Sine Frequency Generator
Switch. Connect DC power source and drive signal to shaker power input.
Activated by pulling switch up. Raise or lower the Sine Frequency Generator
Switch to the desired Sine frequency. Adjust the Gain of the amplifier by
turning the Gain Knob clockwise. The frequency of the generated sine signal
will be visible on the LCD Screen.
3.2.3) Amplifier External Signal
Start the external signal source. Activated by pulling switch down. Adjust the
Gain of the amplifier by turning the Gain Knob clockwise.
3.2.4) Amplifier Maintenance and Troubleshooting
The only user replaceable part is the fuse placed inside the amplifier as
shown below. The fuse is 6A.

3.3) Shaker-Structure Interaction (Stingers)
Stingers used in modal shakers are thin rods with a specific length yielding
low lateral and high axial stiffness. The high axial stiffness is necessary to
transmit the shaker force directly to the test structure with high efficiency
whereas the low lateral stiffness is necessary for protecting the shaker from
moment loads and to minimize shaker alignment issues. The stingers are
mounted on the shaker via a chuck. Force or impedance head sensors can be
mounted on the other side.
The Dynalabs modal shakers stinger sets include chuck and 3 stinger rod
sizes. The chuck consists of two pieces. The collet squeezes the stinger with
the tightening effect of the nut. Choose a collet size as close to your stinger
diameter as possible.
3.4) Shaker Alignment
Shaker alignment is a very important step of modal testing. Poor alignment
can cause force components in unmeasured directions and can even damage
the shaker. In order to overcome this problem, the trunnion can be adjusted
for proper alignment. Furthermore, the tip of the stinger can be removed
during the alignment process in order to reduce the free end deflection as
shown above.

3.5) Shaker Mounting
The shaker is designed to rest on its rubber isolators. However, these
isolators can be removed for rigid or semi-rigid mounting. If it is not
possible to bolt down the shaker, hot glue is also a good mounting option.
The shaker can also be suspended by elastic bungee cords for lateral testing.
Additional inertial weight may be attached to the bottom of the shaker using
hot glue.
3.6) Cooling
DYN-MS-440 does not require forced cooling up to 220N operation. In
order to achieve full performance level of 440N use the cooling unit supplied
with the shaker. The cooling unit must be used in vacuum mode for best
performance. The connections of the cooling unit are given as below.
3.7) Frequency Response and Resonance
The following figure shows the acceleration levels/input voltage versus
frequency of the shaker.

4) Shaker Maintenance and Troubleshooting
The DYN-MS-440 shaker is a sealed device requiring no maintenance if the
operating instructions described in this manual are followed. Repair of
damage to the coil, exciter body or magnet core should not be attempted.
The only user replaceable part is the fuse placed inside the shaker. In order
to replace the fuse unplug all cables from the shaker and turn the cover in
counter clockwise direction as shown. Then replace the fuse and close the
cover. The fuse is 10A. For any other problem, please return the shaker to
Dynalabs for proper repair.
5) Safety
Please ensure that this manual section is reviewed and understood prior to
installation, operation or maintenance of the equipment. The danger of
electrical shock or fire always exists in electrical equipment.
The DYN-MS-440 Shaker is designed for safe operation. Safety features
such as electrical insulation on outer surfaces are provided for the safe
operation of the shaker system.
