Vibration test system uses the coil principle to generate vibration, so a single vibration test requires more power than you might imagine. For example, in the development testing of automotive parts, there are cases where vibration tests are conducted for more than 1,000 hours on a single part. EMIC has newly launched the “FX Series”, a vibration test system that exhibits high energy-saving effects.
In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the cost of electricity and a growing interest in corporate carbon neutrality initiatives. In response to such demands, we have developed an energy-saving vibration tester. In this article, we will introduce the performance of the FX series, focusing on its energy-saving effects.
It is a cost-effective model that inherits the functions of the existing FH series and significantly improves energy-saving performance while keeping the price unchanged. Equipped with "ECO Vibe Advance," an evolutionary energy-saving drive system that optimizes the generator's internal heat generation and cooling function, power consumption has been reduced by up to 36%*.

It's not just eco-friendly!
A cost-effective vibration tester that is compact, lightweight, and has improved durability
The features and improvements of the “FX Series” vibration test system are as follows.
■ Energy saving
Power consumption has been successfully reduced by controlling the blower rotation speed, improving the winding method of coils for movable parts, and reducing the number of power modules required from 4 in the conventional product to 3. Quiet performance is also improved by controlling the rotation speed of the cooling blower.
■ Downsizing
Compared to the conventional FH series, the height has been lowered by 58.5 mm, improving workability and convenience, and the design takes safety into consideration when mounting heavy objects such as samples and jigs.
■ Weight reduction
By changing the shape of the movable parts, we have achieved a weight reduction of about 15% compared to the conventional product, and the maximum acceleration performance has been improved. 
■ Durability
Durability has been improved by installing a new type of feeder that is resistant to breakage in the movable coil power supply and by adopting a linear guide for the movable part support mechanism. In addition, the rubber cover for the temperature (humidity) test chamber has been changed to a material with superior durability and heat resistance, and designed to prevent condensation from accumulating inside.
