Earthquake simulation platform
A large seismic shaking table for structural testing: 6.0 x 9.0 m, 120-ton maximum load, three-direction six-degree-of-freedom motion across the 0.1–50 Hz seismic spectrum.
The earthquake simulation platform is a structural test machine, not a ride: it reproduces seismic waves under real buildings and components so engineers can watch how structures respond. It supports three-dimensional six-degree-of-freedom vibration, simulating the spatial coupling effect of complex seismic waves, and combines numerical algorithms — time history analysis and response spectrum methods — with physical experiments to improve simulation accuracy.
The control and load figures are the headline: the maximum displacement of the tabletop is +/-500 mm on the X and Y axes (and +/-300 mm on Z), the maximum acceleration at full load is 1.5g, and the maximum load capacity is 120 tons, suitable for large-scale structural testing needs. Intelligence and scalability come from numerical control technology (the published example is a Pulsar-class control system), and data collection runs at 256 channels synchronously, supporting multi-dimensional response recording under complex working conditions.
The table itself measures 6.0 metres by 9.0 metres, with vibration in three directions and six degrees of freedom (X/Y/Z translation plus rotation about the axes) and an operating frequency range of 0.1–50 Hz, covering the seismic wave spectrum range. Research institutes, civil engineering laboratories and manufacturers of seismic-rated equipment are the natural buyers; our earthquake platform application notes describe typical programmes. For smaller test duty, the vibration test table covers component-level work.

What to confirm for your project
- Foundation engineering is part of the project: a 120-ton table at 1.5g needs a reaction mass and pit design — include your building in the brief.
- Specify your waveform library (recorded events vs synthetic spectra) — the control system supports both time-history and response-spectrum methods.
- Ask about minimum order requirements and lead time for your proposed configuration; this is a major installation, not a catalogue shipment.
