Understand Materials and Vibration with practical and hands-on learning
A materials and vibration range built for exploration, comparison, and learning to inspire the next generation of engineers
Universal Vibration Apparatus
SKU# MH4324
The Universal Vibration Apparatus provides a complete, flexible platform for studying the fundamental principles of vibration, including free and forced vibration, resonance, and damping. The system features a pivoted beam mounted to the Vibration Frame, with an adjustable spring at the free end to permit controlled oscillation. The spring’s horizontal position can be precisely set using the built-in adjustment mechanism, and the motion range is safely limited by factory-set end stops.
Vibrations can be generated either by manually displacing the beam or by using the supplied Motor Exciter. The motor includes integral imbalance weights that, when rotated, produce controlled forced vibration.
Excitation frequency is managed and displayed through either the Matrix Data Acquisition box or the supplied software, with both frequency and beam displacement captured for analysis.
A comprehensive damping kit is included, comprising adjustable damping discs, a damping tank, and damping media. These components allow students to explore different levels and types of damping. A tunable dynamic absorber is also supplied, enabling investigation into resonance mitigation. To extend experimental capability, a set of calibrated weights is provided to vary the effective mass of the system.
The result is a robust, versatile apparatus ideal for demonstrating and analysing core vibration phenomena in an educational environment.
Optional add-on modules include:
This product comes supplied with the Matrix Data Acquisition box, which is a universal interface providing a single platform for reliable data capture.
It is included as standard with all relevant products, ensuring every system is ready for digital data acquisition out of the box.
Direct integration with Matrix Flowcode enables real-time acquisition, analysis, and visualisation without extra hardware or software.
It captures key mechanical test data including:
- Elongation and extension
- Deformation (strain)
- Applied force / load
- Torque, angle, and fatigue cycle data
