About This Product
The generator turns electrical signals into mechanical oscillations at its output shaft. A Vibration Generator Accessory Kit, available separately or as part of a Vibration Generator Kit, adds accessories for demonstrating transverse, longitudinal, standing and 2-dimensional waves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is needed to drive the generator? A Power Signal Generator, two 4 mm leads and a length of string. A Bench Signal Generator and Power Amplifier can be used in place of the Power Signal Generator.
Q2. How does displacement change with frequency? Maximum peak to peak displacement is 8 mm at 1 Hz and decreases as frequency increases.
