Reporting

The Maul-Theet Damping Test Stand (vDamp) is optimized for the determination of

  • Natural Frequencies
  • Damping Values of brake parts following SAE J2598.

It consists of an aluminium construction with the following components:

  • Excitation Unit
  • Vibration Sensor
  • Data Acquisition
  • Windows PC

Excitation Unit

The broad band excitation is done with an Automatic Impact Hammer:

  • Frequency Range 0.3 to 40 kHz
  • Impact Force up to 200N peak
  • High Reproducibility

Vibration Sensor

The following sensors can be used with the VTS:

  • Microphone
  • Laser Doppler Vibrometer
  • Acceleration Sensor

Data Acquisition

4 Channel DAQ with synchronous sampling

  • Frequency Ranges 1 kHz to 40 kHz
  • Frequency Resolution100 to 26500 FFT Lines
  • AC, DC and IEPE Coupling

Windows PC

All in One PC with Windows 10

  • 8 GB RAM
  • 256 GB SSD

vDamp Software
