Frequently Asked Questions
The 250 kg uniaxial shake table has a 1 m × 1 m top table, a 250 kg payload capacity at ±1 g acceleration, ±200 mm stroke, closed-loop PID control and a servo-motor drive. It is IP-based for remote operation, ships with EASYTEST control software for Windows, and is designed for plug-and-play setup, low power consumption and virtually maintenance-free operation.
A uniaxial shake table moves its top plate along a single horizontal axis. This reproduces one component of earthquake ground motion, which is sufficient for many structural model tests, equipment qualification runs and teaching labs, at lower cost and complexity than biaxial or triaxial tables. QuakeLogic offers both uniaxial and biaxial configurations and can tailor stroke, payload and table size.
No. The table is driven by an electro-mechanical servo motor instead of hydraulic actuators, so there is no hydraulic power unit, oil or associated maintenance. The result is smooth, quiet operation, low power consumption and a compact footprint that can be installed quickly in a standard laboratory space without special facility work.
The table is controlled by QuakeLogic's EASYTEST software, which runs on any Windows machine without specialized computer cards or additional hardware. Because the controller is IP-based, the operator can run and monitor tests from a PC in the lab or from another location over the network, and a demonstration of the software is available on QuakeLogic's YouTube channel.
Recent QuakeLogic shake table clients include Caltech, University of Texas, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech, Imperial College London, UC San Diego, Cooper Union, University of Alberta, the National Autonomous University of Mexico, American University of Sharjah, University of Queensland and Nokia. The tables are used for earthquake engineering research, structural model testing and teaching.
