The vibration generator is for generating mechanical
waves to study oscillations and resonance.

1. Safety instructions

• When plugging in or removing accessories, take care

not to apply too much pressure or force on the
mounting in order to avoid damaging the loud­speaker. Hold the mounting still with one hand
whilst inserting or removing the accessory with the
other.

2. Description, technical data

The vibration generator consists of a loudspeaker fit­ted inside a stable plastic housing. A mounting pin
with a 4-mm socket is attached to the speaker to trans­mit the oscillations.
Springs, Chladni plates, rubber bands and other ac­cessories can be attached to the vibration generator
and allowed to oscillate. A function generator with a
power output (e.g. U21010 function generator with in­terface or U21015 F12 function generator) is required
to generate the oscillations. Including holder for stand
rod (up to 8 mm Ø) on the rear side of the apparatus
for the demonstration of standing waves in a coil
spring. The generator is equipped with overload pro­tection.
