General Information

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.

System Components

The DYN-PM-440 has the following components:

  • Electrodynamic Shaker
  • Amplifier (DYN-SA-1100)
  • Cooling Unit (Blower + Hose + Hose connection adapter + R 1/2 Pneumatic union)
  • Power Cable
  • Signal Cable
  • M6X10 Stainless Bolt
  • Fuse
  • User Manual

Theory of Operation

DYN-PM-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-PM-440 has a moving coil (driving coil) whose current is controlled for vibration generation. The stationary magnetic field is produced by a permanent magnet.DynaLabs DYN-PM-440-440-N-PM-Shaker-FIG- \(1\)

Operation and Installation

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.DynaLabs DYN-

Amplifier

DYN-PM-440 uses an external power amplifier for drive signal amplification. Please note the wiring of the power amplifier given below.

Amplifier GeneralDynaLabs DYN-PM-440-440-N-PM-Shaker-FIG-

Amplifier Internal Sıgnal

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. Pull the Gain Knob out. 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.DynaLabs DYN-PM-440-440-N-PM-Shaker-FIG-

Amplifier External Signal

Start the external signal source. Adjust the Gain of the amplifier by turning the Gain Knob clockwise.DynaLabs DYN-PM-440-440-N-PM-Shaker-FIG-

Amplifier Maintenance and Troubleshooting

The only user replaceable part is the fuse placed inside the shaker.DynaLabs

Mounting Interface

The shaker has 9XM6 threads are for test ünit connection.DynaLabs DYN-
PM-440-440-N-PM-Shaker-FIG- \(8\)

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.

Cooling

DYN-PM-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.DynaLabs DYN-PM-440-440-N

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

The DYN-PM-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 remove the o-ring as shown below. Then turn the cover in counter clockwise direction as shown. Then replace the fuse and close the cover. For any other problem, please return the shaker to Dynalabs for proper repair.DynaLabs DYN-PM-440-440-N-PM-Shaker-
