1.1. GQIERAL

1.1.1. The ting Dynamic Systems Model 805 Shaker is a wide frequency
band electro-dynamio transducer capable of producing a sine
vector force of 13.320N. The Shaker normally operates in the
frequency range of 5 to 3,000 Hz from either* a sine wave or
random noise input, and is driven by a power amplifier in the
2kVA to 12KVA range. Operation below 5 Hz Is possible with
a suitable amplifier.

1.1.2. The shaker consists of a magnetic structure which houses and

supports the armature assembly and field coils. The field and
armature coils are air-cooled by means of a remotely located
suction fan to minimise heat and fan noise in the area
adjacent to the shaker. A de-gauesing coil is fitted to
reduce the stray field above the armature.
y

Air spring isolation and linear bearing guidance at the

trunnions provide low natural frequency suspension of the
ghaker body in the thrust axis for any shaker orientation
within + 90 degrees from the vertical upright position.
The trunnion assemblies, on which the magnetic structure 1b
mounted, will allow + l8o degree rotation of the thrust axis
locking (clamped) at"any angle. Acourate positioning for
vertical or horizontal operation Is provided by removable
bo Kb,

1.1.4. The shaker is fitted with armature overtravel and cooling air
interlock switches.* (6)

1.1.5. As from serial number 111 the model 805 shaker will be supplied
fitted with a low impedance armature as standard and all service
replacement armatures for earlier serial numbers will also be
low Impedance.

1.1.6. The low Impedance armature consists of two separate windings

which are either series or parallel connected, to give
alternative shaker characteristics (see figures 3 4 4).

 SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

2.1. UNPACKING AND HANDLING

2.1.1. Check the equipment received against the packing list to ensure
a complete shipment.

2.1.2. Carefully inspect the Shaker for damage which may have occurred
while In transit and notify the shipping agent (carrier)
immediately of any damage.

2.1.3. A arane or fork lift and suitable lifting filings may be

used to transport the shaker to the installation site.
If lifting slings are used, these should be placed under
the trunnions and should be suitably protected to avoid
damage, particularly to the air connections to the suspension
system. Stematlvely the shaker may be lifted using the f x 11
U.N.C. eyebolts provided which should be fitted into the corner
blocks of the vertical.members. (Remove top covers).

2.2. SITE SELECTION AND PREPARATION

2.2.1. The Model 805 shaker should be installed in a location which

is free of airborne ferromagnetic particles. Any operation
that produces such by-products in the installation area should
be performed only after adequate protective measures are taken.
Although the shaker is completely sealed around the armature,
an accumulation of abrasive material at the armature diaphragm
seal c*n substantially shorten the life of the seal. If this
seal is broken a build-up of ferromagnetic particles in the
air gap could result in eventual breakdown of the armature coll.

2.2.2, The physical location of the shaker is restricted only by the

lengths of the various interconnecting cables and hoses. It is
recommended that the shaker should be placed close to the control
console for quick and easy monitoring of the equipment by the
operator.

2.3. INSTALLATION

2.3.1. All dimensions necessary for the installation of the Model 805
shaker are shown in Figure 1.& 1a0 (O
2-3-2. For maximum portability castors are provided on the shaker.
When a permanent installation is required, the shaker may be
attached to the floor or any suitable base by means of four
triangular plates supplied with the shaker which clamp the
levelling screws - see Figure 14 1a. The shaker may be
levelled by adjusting the for levelling screws and up to 25mm
of adjustment is provided at each point.

THE AIR SPRING SUSPENSION SYSTEM HAS BEEN LOCKED OUT.
FAILURE TO DO SO WILL CAUSE UNCONTROU^D ROTATION DUE
BOD*

2.4.1. The air spring suspension system incorporated In the trunnions

la looked out prior to shipment. To use this suspension feature,
proceed as follows:

2.4.1.1. Remove the four lower lockout bolts inserted through

the shaker support trunnion Into the shaker body,

2.4.1.2. Pressurise the air mounts until the shaker body is

slightly above centre2between thepSupport trunnions -
approximately 4l2kN/m (6© lbf/in ). This relieves
the upper lockout bolts of body weight.

2.4.1.3. Remove the four upper lockout bolts, and store all
eight bolts. The bolts are illustrated as part
number 245420 on drawing numoer 909980.* (i)

2.4.2. Whenever it is desired to transport, store, or change the

thrust axis of the shaker, lock out the air spring suspensions
system as follows1

2.4.2.1. Centre the shaker between the support trunnions by

pressurising or depressurising the air mounts.

2.4.2.2, Insert the four upper lockout bolts through the

support trunnions Into the shaker body, and tighten
the bolts finger tight.

2.4.2.3. Depressurise the air mounts.

2.4.2.4, Insert the four lower lockout bolts and tighten all
eight bolts,

2.4.3. The shaker trunnion assemblies-allow + 180 degrees rotation of

the thrust axis, with accurate positioning provided at
90 degree increments. When changing the thrust axis of the
shaker from vertical to horizontal, or vice-versa, proceed
as follows:

2.4.3.6. Remove the lockout bolts in the air spring suspension

system using the procedure outlined in paragraph 2.4.1.

2.5. LOAD ATTACHMENT

2.5-1- The shaker armature table is fitted with inserts for 13 load
mounting screws. The hole pattern is designed to allow easy
mounting for complicated fixtures and the best dynamic
performance will result if all the holes are used.

2.5.2. The inserts are tapped for 3/8-16 UKC or V® screws, however
in accordance with the British Government metrication
programme, vibrators supplied by Ling Dynamic Systems Ltd.
towards the latter end of 1972 and onwards, will be fitted
with metric thread payload mounting inserts instead of unified
threads as standard.

These will accept I.3.0. metric 8 mm coarse thread screws and

to avoid procurement problems on the part of the customer,
the correct quantity of 8 mm socket cap head screws suitable for
a payload thickness of 20 mm (2^ times the screw diameter) will
be supplied with each vibrator. To ensure interehangeability
of load mounting Inserts the holes tapped in the armature are
unchanged i.e. 9/16 in. U.N.C.

We regret that once the change over to metric threads to our

range of vibrators is completed, non standard inserts will only
be supplied to special order.

DO NOT DRILL ADDITIONAL HOLES THROUGH THE MAGNESIUM WEB OF THE

ARMATURE TABLE. DRILLING OP ADDITIONAL HOLES WILL WEAKEN THE
TABLE_.^TmjCTURE_AND_MAY_RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT

2.5.3. Screws used in mounting test fixtures or loads to the armature

table should not extend more than 2 to ^ times the diameter of
the screws and should be tightened to the manufacturers
recommended torque value for the particular class of fastener
used. Looseness or excessive compliance in any of the
mechanical connections between the driving coil and the test
load will cause erratic uncontrolled test levels and frequency
components. Difficulties caused by such looseness can be
detected with an osailloscope connected to the accelerometer
output. Serious departure from a sinusoidal reponse, or more
particularly, the addition of high frequency for non-harmonic
noise components superimposed on the wave form is nearly always
an indication of decoupling between the armature and fixture,
o
fixture and load or looseness within the fixture. Bolted
o connections in fixtures should be avoided as much as possible -

5* must be exercieed in locating the load over the

armature table. The fixture height should be minimised
to keep the centre of gravity as close to the table
surface as possible. Driving a complicated fixture and
load causes coupled modes of vibration which can only be
reduced by rigo^oua Eymmetry and careful alignment of the
load over the thrust axis of the armature. Load attachment
is a specialised problem whibh must be solved for each load.
The motion of the table and fixture with the load in place
may foa ohesked with a series of measurements taken with
light weight crystal aceelerometers.

2.5-5. For vertical operation, the flexure support capabilities

must be considered before attaching a load and fixture to
the table. The maximum allowable vertical load which the
flexures can support and still allow room for the
armature to attain the rated stroke Is 8.5 kg. T^iis is
calculated from the following formula: M ■ 0.20K - Ma where
Ma Is th© mass of the armature in kg, and K is the flexure stiffness
in KN/m. When full rated stroke is required for vertical loads
in excess of the above value, it is necessary to support the
load with low stiffness springs (of considerably less than
92O5 N/mm (530 lbf/in) stiffness) or shook cords acting between
th© mass and the shaker body or ground. It follows of course
that a vertical load in excess of 8.5 kg can be supported
without additional means if the required displacement is small.

2.5.6. During horizontal operation the flexures will centre the

armature and mass axially. Care must be taken to ensure that
excessive torque or shear load is not applied to the armature
and bearings by an overhanging mass, this condition will result
in rapid bearing wear or failure, and possible scuffing of the
armatxire in the air gap. The overhanging mass should not be in
excess of 8320 / /
ag ■ • kg (X is the distance in mm between the fixture (4
load

centre of gravity and the armature table load mounting surface).

For.overhanging masses in excess of the above mentioned value,
independent suspension of the mass is necessary.

2.6. PREOPERATIONAL CHECKOUT

2.6.1. An insulation resistance check of the Model 805 Shaker and

shaker cables should be made before operation. This check
should be made at the amplifier end of the shaker cable with the
cables disconnected from the amplifier and using a 500-volt
megger insulation tester. See Figure 2 for the shaker circuit
details.

2.6.2. A resistance above one megohm should be obtained in all cases.

A resistance of 100,000 ohm or less may be obtained if the
equipment has been stored in an area of high humidity and
where such a condition exists the shaker field and air cooling
o
system should be energised for a short period of time to allow
the interior to dry.

check each coll individually to detexmine if either is faulty.

£.6,4. Check the overtravei protection circuit to ensure proper

operation of the switch and correct cable Connections. The
overtravei switch is preset at the factory for an effective
limit which allows the armature to travel 15.25mm (0.6 in)
in either direction from the neutral position. Check the
operation of the switch as follows*

2.6.4.1, Set up the necessary equipment to monitor displacement.

An optloal wedge may be used.

2.6.4.2. Set the shaker thrust axis to the horizontal position.

2.6.4.5. Follow th£ itart up sequence as outlined in paragraph

2.7 and establish a frequency of 10 Hz.

2,6.4.4, Gradually increase the amplifier output to increase

the shaker armature displacement.

If the proper interlock connections have been madetthe amplifier

will automatically shut down when the shaker armature exceeds
the 30.5mm (1.2 In) peak to peak displacement. If the amplifier
falls to shut down and the monitor indicates the rated
displacement has been exceeded, manually stop the system.
Should a check of the cable connections reveal proper installation,
the limits of the overtravei switch should be checked.

2.6.5. Observation of the wave form through the use of a lightweight

crystal accelerometer and an oscilloscope is the most sensitive
test for proper shaker operation. The following test Is
recommended:

2.6.5.1. Mount an accelerometer on the armature table. Ensure

that the accelerometer is insulated from the shaker
armature to prevent electric earth loops.

2.6.5.2. Connect the accelerometer output to an appropriate

amplifying system with the accelerometer amplifier

 It Is necessary to be able to differentiate between normal
and abnormal distortion. Serious departure from a sine wave
is usually an indication of armature bearing misalignment
or damage. Some distortion at sub-multiples of the resonance
frequency may be expected due to the amplification of a small
percentage of the amplifier distortion. It is highly
recommended that a record should be made of the armature
resonance frequency and harmonic wave form when the shaker
l& yte&©£ved. a oh«sok with this record will enable trained
personnel to differentiate between normal and abnormal
distortion. A periodic check with this record will minimise
trouble shooting time and is also a very good preventative
maintenance check,

8,7. OPERATION

2.7-1. The starting procedure for the Model 805 Shaker must be followed
in a sequence to prevent damage to the equipment. The start up
prooodure is aa follows:-

2.7-1.1. Pressurise the bearing and air suspension to

centralise the shaker body between the trunnion
assemblies (approximately 4l2kN/m (601bf/in ) for
vertical operation),

NOTE

For horizontal operation, only a slight air pressure is

required for the air suspension (approximately 6,88 kN/m - l.Olbf/
in )o

2.7.1.2- Mount the load on the shaker table using the inserts
provided.

2*7.1*3. When the 605 vibrator is employed, with Ling Dynamic

Systems MPA Series amplifiers, the vibrator drive, field
and interlock cabling connection* between equipments within
the vibrator system should oomply with the pertaining
systems interconnecting drawing. This drawing is contained
In the System Manual supplied with the interconnecting
cable assembly kit at initial installation*
When connected in accordance with. the. above mentioned
drawing, the vibrator oooling unit and field power supply
are switched on in automatic sequence via the system drive
amplifier when the amplifier auxiliaries are switched on.

2.7.2. To shut down the Model 805 shaker, it is recommended that the
starting procedure outlined in paragraph 2*7*1 above be reversed.

 2.7.3. It is Important that care should be taken When operating
the shaker to avoid damage to the suspension or armature
coil. This can be caused by transients in the supply
waveform or by exceeding the displacement and/or acceleration
limits. Therefore the following points should be borne in
mind.

2.7.3.1. If the shaker is being controlled manually through

the frequency range, this should be done slowly with
a watch kept on acceleration as the armature resonance
frequency is approached.

2.7.3.2. Avoid switching the oscillator to a different frequency

range without first reducing the amplifier input to
zero. Otherwise the resulting transient oould exceed
the acceleration limit.

2o7. J.?. High transients at the low frequency end could cause
the displacement limit to be exceeded to the extend
that although the amplifier may be shut down (overtravel
switch) the armature strikes the mechanical stop with
an impact that exceeds the acceleration limit.

2.7.4* Figures 5 & 4 show the performance of the shaker at full thrust
bare table. It should be noted that the shaker must not be
operated under these conditions over the constant acceleration
range as the acceleration limit will exceed the limit for the
shaker - see also paragraph 2.7,3. - these graphs are included
as a guide only and are intended to provide the information
required to match an amplifier other than the one supplied
by Ling Dynamic Systems to the shaker. The curves for current
are substantially true curves of the current required to give
full thrust but the impedance and voltage curves will be affected
by the payload mass. However, the information given shows the
absolute requirement. The velocity limits with a shaker/amplifier
system will depend entirely on available amplifier volts.
Figures 6, 7, 8 & 9 show the performance of the 805 Shaker with
different Ling Dynamic Systems amplifiers. These amplifiers
have been matched to the shaker to give optimum all round
performance.

 SECTION 3 - PRINCIPLES OP OPERATION

3.1- DESCRIPTION AND LAYOUT

5.1.1. The Model 805 shaker body consists of a cylindrical steel

magnetic structure designed to mechanically Support and
contain an armature assembly, field coils and a degaussing coil.
The wedge-shaped pole pieces and bottom plate form a single
unit which extends from the bottom of the shaker to the top,
and the shaker body and a top plate assembly complete the
magnetic structure.

5.1.2. The armature assembly consists of a cylindrical copper coll

bonded to a cast magnesium radial-finned structure. The
armature ie located around the centre pole assembly and occupies
part of the air gap in the magnetic structure. The armature
has a shaft extension at the lower end which slides axially
in a linear ball bearing. This bearing restricts the lateral
movement of the armature. Four half-loop beryllium oopper
flexures provide axial support for the armature assembly and
also provide lateral and rotational restraint, electro-magnetic
recenterlng, and a path for earthing the armature to the body.

3.1.3. The entire body structure is supported on air spring trunnion

assemblies which provide a low natural frequency suspension
of the shaker body in the thrust axis for any shaker orientation
within + 90 degrees from the vertical upright position.
The suspension system may be locked out for storage or transport
ation, and must be locked out when changing the direction of the
thrust axis. The trunnion assemblies allow + 180 degree
rotation of the thrust axis, and may be looked at any angle.
Accurate positioning at 90 degree increments (horizontal or
vertical) is provided by removable bolts located on the shaker
base.

3.1.4. All eleatrlcal' connections to the shaker are made to the terminal
blocks mounted In the Junction box - see figure 2 - The hose
connecting the external suction fan to the shaker is attached
to the air plenum casting mounted on the bottom of the shaker
part number 323270 on drawing number 909960* A top cover seal, CD
between the top oover and the armature assembly, protects the
interior of the shaker from ferromagnetic particles.

3.2. THEORY OF OPERATION

3.2.1. The Model 805 Shaker Is an electrodynamlc device in which an

alternating force Is created by an alternating current-carrying
conductor operating In a properly oriented, direct current
magnetic field.

3.2.2. The shaker magnetic structure is energised by a direct current

through the field coils - this produces the magnetic field in
the air gap surrounding the armature coil. When current is
applied to the armature coil conductors, which are at right
angles to the magnetic flux in the air gap, a resulting force
Is produced which is mutually perpendicular to the air gap

f flux and direction of the armature current.

00

LING DYNAMIC SHT. No.

SYSTEMS LTD.. 13
 3.2O« A de-gauesing coil, connected to the aentre of the field
coils, see Fig. 2 is positioned around the armature table
and is mounted to the top plate. This coll reduces the
stray direct current magnetio field above the table surface
by establishing counter flux opposing the leakage flux.
Adjustment is by a series connected potentiometer located
in the amplifier or field power supply, and this is pre-set
during test and would not normally require adjusting.

3.2.4. The air cooling system Is used to remove heat from the shaker.
Cooling (ambient) air, which enters the shaker through intake
passages at the top, is drawn over the armature coil, and
field coll, and is exhausted from the Bhaker by the external
fan. Since the safe maximum operating temperature is a basic
limitation to the allowable shaker output, the fan unit is
made relatively large in size.

3.2.5. Armature overtravel protection is provided through normally

closed, mechanically actuated contacts wired into the amplifier
interlock circuit. Should the armature exceed the rated stroke,
the overtravel switch will make physical contact with a striker
on the armature, open circuit, and initiate amplifier shut down.

3.2.6. A paddle type air switch is fitted in the cooling air plenum
at the bottom of the shaker. This switch is wired into the
amplifier interlock circuit and will initiate amplifier
shutdown in the event of cooling air failure. The electrical
connections into the amplifier interlock circuit will either
be internal via the terminal box or direct from the cooling
air plen through a grommet depending on the serial number of
the shaker.

 SECTION 4 - MAINTENANCE

4.1. GENERAL

4-1.1. The shaker is designed to give a long trouble free service

and If the recommendations given In the preceeding paragraph
are adhered to, preventative maintenance will be minimal.
It is recommended that the shaker should be stripped down
periodically say every 12 months and cleaned. However,
the period between maintenance will depend on the utilisation
and the environment in which the shaker Is installed, and In
sorae cases more frequent intervals would be advisable. If the
top dust seal is broken it should be replaced at the earliest
opportunity.

While the maintenance can be carried out by the customer, we

■xould recommend that it is done by Ling Dynamic Systems Ltd.
Service Department engineers who are specially trained In
this class of work. The following notes however, are Included
to assist in this operation and describe the procedure required
to change the armature, field coils, and the centre bearing.
The LIn-E-AIr suspension system should normally last the lifetime
of the shaker and need not be touched other than keeping the
support shafts clean.

4.1.2, The tightness of electrical connections and screws should be

checked periodically and the recommended maximum tightening
torque values are given in the following table. For specific
torque values of materials not listed, refer to manufacturers
published figures.

 4.2 RECOMMENDED SPARES

In order to reduoe the delay when the shaker is out of

commission due to component damage or wear, the following
parts could with advantage be held as spares.

Fart No Qty Description

741160 1 Overtravel switch assembly

558^50 1 Overtravel striker
363710 1 Dust seal
767350 2 Armature current lead
422630 4 Beryllium copper flexures
868860 1 Rectifier
741330 1 Armature assembly
698690 1 Ball bushing
323260 1 Armature guide shaft

4.3 REMOVING THE ARMATURE Reference drawing 909980 (1)

4.3.1. Before commencing any maintainence work ensure that all electrical
services are isolated from the shaker.

4.3.2. The shaker should be positioned with the armature axis in the
vertical plane and with all the suspension lock out bolts in
place,,

4.3.3. Remove the dust seal and disconnect the armature lead out
connections at the armature end. Disconnect the supply cables
and internal connections from the terminals in the terminal
box to the field colls, and codling air switch.

4.3.4. Remove the screws securing the top plate to the body. Insert
eyebolts into the three lifting points on the top plate
with suitable lifting gear remove the top plate assembly
complete. Care should be taken to avoid damage to the armature
during this exercise and also the internal connections to the
field' coils. Note that this removes the armature guide shaft
from the bearing and care is required - do not rotate the
armature if this can be avoided.

4.3.5. Mark the position of the armature relative to the body. Support
the weight of the armature and remove the screws and olampe
securing the flexures to the armature and to the flexure (2)
support blocke

4.3.6. Remove the flexures and lower the armature from the top plate. (2)

4.3.7. If having proceeded to this stage the shaker has to be left

for a protracted period (e.g. while spares are being obtained)
cover the top plate to prevent the ingress of dirt.

4.3.8. To replace the armature, the 4x13 UNC cap head screw which
o secures the guide shaft to the armature should be slightly loose -
this is subsequently tightened from the underside of the body
CO to ensure correct alignment
 4.5.8. (cont)

If a new armature is being fitted remove the guide shaft from

the old armature and fit' to the new. Replace the armature
and re-assemble the shaker in the reverse order described,
Note - care is required when feeding the field coil leads through
the top plate to ensure that they are not trapped or damaged
when the top plaXe is subeequently tightened* At this stage
and before reconnecting to the terminals an insulation check
should be made on each coil between one lead and tile shaker
body.

4.3.9. Remcv- the positioning bolts in the shaker vertical members

and loosen the eight and plate bolts as described in paragraph
2.4.5,2. and 2.4.5.5. Rotate the shaker body 90° and replace
th© positioning bolts. Disconnect the air switch leads from
the air switch and remove the air plenum part number 525270 on
drawing 909980.. Finally, oscillate the armature by hand pressure CD
to centralise the guide shaft and progressively tighten the
guid« shaft soraw. Note this exercise will require the use of
a special tool which can be made by brazing an "Allen" key to an
extension shaft.

Replace plenum and re-connect the air switch,

4.4. REPLACING THE CENTRE BEARING

4.4.1. Both the armature guide shaft, and centre ball bearing are
replaceable individually but it is recommended that these
are both renewed while the shaker is dismantled. It is first
neoessary to remove the armature as described in paragraphs
4,5-2. to 4.5.6. inclusive.

4.4.2, When the armature is removed, access is gained to the centre

bearing, which is fitted In a resilient rubber mount to allow
self alignment..

4.4.5. The hole in the centre pole of current 805 shakers is

sufficiently large to allow an extractor tool to enter which will
rest on the top of the centre bearing shell to enable the
bearing to be pressed out (Note - pressure must not be used
on the retaining plates).

Earlier models of the 805 shaker require a special tool which

fits inside the centre bearing to extract it,

4.4.4. However, where It is required to remove the centre bearing

it Is recommended that this work be carried out by the;
Service Department of Ling Dynamic Systems, whose engineers
have the tools and experience required for this kind of work,

4.4.5. When a new centre bearing is being fitted, the resilient rubber
mount should be lubricated with a smear of silicon grease, to
ensure that the bearing is able to take up the correot alignment
to the armature.

4.5.1. The upper field coil can be removed and replaced when the
top plate assembly is removed. However, in view of the fact
that the position of the armature has been disturbed the
armature should be removed and refitted paragraphs 4.3.1.
to 4.3.9. inclusive.

4.5.2. The lower field coil cannot be removed without first removing
the top field coil as this involves feeding the coil
terminating leads past the upper coil: and through holes in
the top plate.

4.5.5. Having removed the top plate assembly, armature and top field
coil. Invert the shaker body and remove the air plenum.

4.5.4. Remove the screws securing the bottom plate, attach lifting
eyes and remove the bottom plate and centre pole assembly.
This gives access to the bottom field coll.

4.6. COOLING AIR SWITCH ADJUSTMENT

4.6.1. The cooling air switch should be adjusted such that contact
is made Just before the fan reaches full speed and this will
be the position most sensitive to air failure. It should be
noted that the switch must be fitted with the movement of the
paddle away from the adjusting spring and in the direction
of the air hose i.e. during operation the actuating arm moves
away from the microswitch.

To adjust the spring tension loosen the 6BA screw fixing the
spring adjusting bracket to the body and move the bracket
to the new position.
