Castle GA606 Vibration Calibrator

The GA606 is a small, self-contained handheld shaker designed for quick and easy checking of accelerometers, vibration monitoring systems and recording systems. Providing a known and controlled selectable RMS or Peak vibration for verification of accelerometers weighing up to 210g.

Features:

– Switchable 1g RMS or 1g Peak Acceleration output
– Drives vibration sensors up to 210g
– Operates at 159.2 Hz
– Battery powered and adaptable to AC
– CE compliant

Provides 80 to 1600 calibration cycles, depending on accelerometer weight and is powered by a self contained battery pack. The automatic shut off after a 1.75 minute cycle can be overridden by a switch to provide continuous operation when required. Internal suspension is protected from overload by mechanical stops.
