Traditional Calibration Shakers
o Air Bearing Shaker
• Superior transverse performance
• Limited displacement: 10 mm
• Broader frequency range
o Flexure Shaker • Limited displacement:
25.4mm
• Sub-optimal transverse performance
• Higher payload capability
Traditional Calibration Shakers
o External amplifier provides current to AC coil
o Amplitude control either open loop or iterative control loop • Iterative control
acceptable at high frequency – significant run time increase with low frequency test points
Back To Back Calibration
o Generate known acceleration level
• Calculate ratio of test accelerometer voltage to test g level
Low Frequency Calibration
o Inherent challenges to low frequency calibration
• Stroke length limits sensor output
• Lower frequency test points drastically increase calibration time
• The effect of transverse motion must be characterized to account
for the contribution to system uncertainty
Frequency and Displacement
o a(t)=-(Xω2)Sin(ωt+φ) Where:
• a(t) = acceleration
• t = time
• ω = angular frequency
• φ = phase
• X = displacement
1 o a(t)=X(2πf)2
Where:
• a(t)= acceleration
• f = frequency
• X = displacement
ω=(2πf)
o Acceleration is proportional to displacement by the square of the frequency

o For constant acceleration, required displacement increases exponentially with decreasing frequency

Linear Motor
o “Unfolded” rotary electric motor
o 3 Electromagnetic coils/ 3 phases
o Control loop provides vertical support system for armature
Optical Feedback
Optical Encoder Read Head
Scale Tape:
20um pitch
Optical Feedback
o Servo loop control for real time positional control
o Axis homing with integrated limit switch
o Processed quadrature output generates incremental positional output as calibration signal
Signal Processing Considerations
o Servo system closed loop control: High frequency noise present in system
o Signal processing must be narrow band
Air Bearings
o Porous Graphite
• Low flow compared to channel type air bearings
o High Stiffness
• Decrease in ride height increases
stiffness
o Low Friction
• Eliminates “stick slip” at motion reversal
Transverse Sensitivity
o Motion not directed along the direction of travel produces an output from the test accelerometer
o Typically
specified to less than 5%
Transverse Sensitivity
Transverse Performance
o Measurement of transverse motion of the armature via tri-axial accelerometer

Summary
o The 2129E025 long stroke shaker provides linear excitation for accelerometer calibration.
o Stroke length becomes critical with decreasing frequency in generating adequate output from the test accelerometer.
o Optical encoder operation in limited in frequency by the structural rigidity of the linear stage.
o The random uncertainty of calibration is reduced with the utilization of the displacement based encoder signal.
o An optical encoder used in a servo feedback loop drastically reduces calibration times.
