The LDS V406 permanent magnet shaker by Brüel & Kjær stands as a premier electrodynamic vibration testing solution, serving universities, research labs, and industries worldwide. Available in Canada through Durham Instruments, this high-performance shaker excels in applications ranging from fatigue testing of small electronics to biomedical device research and material analysis.
Engineered for maximum versatility, the LDS V406 operates as a non-seismic pickup, velocity transducer, or high-speed actuator. Its broad frequency range of 5–9,000 Hz and robust construction make it ideal for sectors including aerospace, automotive, medical technology, power generation, and civil engineering. The shaker delivers a standard peak sine force of 98 newtons, extendable to 196 newtons when paired with the recommended LDS PA500L amplifier.
The device features a 38-millimeter armature diameter with laminated-fibre flexures that provide axial support while enhancing lateral and rotational stability. While typically base-mounted, the LDS V406 offers trunnion mounting capability and supports auxiliary suspension for vertical operation on large spring-mounted structures – a critical advantage for testing bridges or heavy machinery.
Beyond standard vibration testing, the shaker facilitates accelerometer calibration, machinery condition monitoring, modal analysis, and specialized laboratory experiments like powder compaction. Its external fan cooling system ensures reliable performance during extended high-intensity testing sessions.
Brüel & Kjær’s reputation for precision instrumentation is reflected in the LDS V406’s design, which balances lightweight construction with exceptional load-bearing capacity. For industries requiring dependable vibration testing equipment with flexible configuration options, this shaker represents a proven solution backed by expert technical support.
