Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional dynamic characteristic measurement devices are limited to measuring vibrations up to 1.5 kHz, failing to accurately assess high-frequency vibrations, and struggle with measuring small dynamic loads under preloads due to resonance frequency interference, especially in the context of rubber isolators for vehicles with electric motors which require analysis up to 3 kHz.

Innovation Solution

A dynamic characteristic measurement device featuring a crosshead with a resonance frequency set above 4 kHz, utilizing air springs and an electrodynamic vibrator with a control system that applies preload and adjusts measurement ranges to accurately measure dynamic loads and characteristics in the high-frequency range up to 3 kHz, employing a resonant jig and load washers for precise load detection.
