TM 150 Universal Vibration System

* Extensive experimental system for mechanical

oscillation
1

* Experiments on various pendulums, bar-type
oscillators and spring-mass systems
1

* Damping, resonance and damping effects with
forced vibration
Technical Description
The instructional system covers a wide range of topics
in mechanical vibration technology. It is mounted on a
sturdy, low-vibration aluminum sectional frame which
is installed on a rolling laboratory trolley with braked
wheels. Quick fastening elements for the formed
grooves for quick and accurate experimental set-up.
Forced vibration is generated with an electrical motor-
driven unbalance exciter. The exciter frequency can be
set precisely on a control unit with digital display. An
oil damper is used for vibration abatement. A bar-type
oscillator that can be adjusted with weights is included
for absorber experiments. A mechanical drum and a
polar diagram recorder record the vibration. The single
parts are stored in the protective storage
compartments of the laboratory trolley. The external
computer-aided PC data acquisition (TM 150.20) and
a practice set for torsional vibrations (TM 150.02) are
available as accessories.

TM 150 Universal Vibration System
1 laboratory trolley, 2 frame, 3 exciter control unit with digital frequency display,
4 drum recorder for recording vibration, 5 suspension spring, 6 unbalance exciter,
7 rigid bar as discrete oscillator, 8 damper cylinder
from left to right: rod pendulum, wood pendulum with adjustable weight, thread
pendulum, bifilar thread pendulum with various weights
Absorber effect of additional weights: The shaded area shows at f
R
the
resonance of the unaffected bar-type oscillator. The 2 grey areas at f
1
and f
2
are
the new resonances of the system bar with absorber.
At f
R
the amplitude of the oscillation system produced by the absorber
disappears almost completely.
