A normal oscilloscope doesn't produce signals. It analyses them. A suitable audio oscillator needs to be fairly powerful to get a decent displacement of that transducer at sub-audio frequencies. The type of oscillator needs to have a suitable frequency range so it needs to be like the one mentioned on the link. A general purpose audio oscillator may not do the job so be careful of the spec of anything you may need to buy second hand.arosinblum said:It seems the oscilloscope is not giving me a signal strong enough to drive the generator.
The primary function of an amplifier in a vibration generator system is to increase the power of the input signal to drive the vibration generator effectively. This ensures that the vibration generator can produce the necessary amplitude and frequency of vibrations for the desired application.
An oscillator generates a stable and continuous AC signal with a specific frequency and amplitude. This signal is used to drive the vibration generator, ensuring consistent and controlled vibrations. The oscillator determines the frequency at which the vibration generator operates.
While general-purpose amplifiers can sometimes be used, it is often better to use a specialized amplifier designed for vibration generators. These specialized amplifiers are optimized to handle the specific power requirements and frequency ranges needed for effective vibration generation, ensuring better performance and reliability.
When selecting an amplifier for a vibration generator, consider factors such as the power output, frequency range, impedance matching, and thermal management. It is also important to ensure that the amplifier can handle the specific load and signal characteristics required by the vibration generator.
To ensure compatibility between the oscillator and the amplifier, make sure that the output signal from the oscillator matches the input requirements of the amplifier in terms of frequency, amplitude, and impedance. Additionally, both components should be capable of handling the power levels required by the vibration generator. Proper impedance matching and signal conditioning may also be necessary to optimize performance.
