U56001 Vibration generator
8/04 ALF
®
The vibration generator is for generating mechanical
waves to study oscillations and resonance.
1. Safety instructions
•
When plugging in or removing accessories, take care
not to apply too much pressure or force on the
mounting in order to avoid damaging the loud-
speaker. Hold the mounting still with one hand
whilst inserting or removing the accessory with the
other.
2. Description, technical data
The vibration generator consists of a loudspeaker fit-
ted inside a stable plastic housing. A mounting pin
with a 4-mm socket is attached to the speaker to trans-
mit the oscillations.
Springs, Chladni plates, rubber bands and other ac-
cessories can be attached to the vibration generator
and allowed to oscillate. A function generator with a
power output (e.g. U21010 function generator with in-
terface or U21015 F12 function generator) is required
to generate the oscillations. Including holder for stand
rod (up to 8 mm Ø) on the rear side of the apparatus
for the demonstration of standing waves in a coil
spring. The generator is equipped with overload pro-
tection.
