Seat Shaker

Single Axis Motion Seat

Servos & Simulation offers several models of Seat Shaker Actuators. Seat Shakers are normally single axis units that provide vertical vibration to the pilot's seat. This vibration is used to cues the pilot to aircraft situations.

Seat shakers used in fixed wing aircraft are used to give the pilot an indication of stall buffet or other buffet cues such as touchdown bumps and runway rumble. For some aircraft, such as the F-5 and T-38, the stall buffet cue is very important.

Seat Shakers are used for rotary wing aircraft usually to add rotor vibration and touchdown bumps. The rotor vibration is an important cue to indicate problems with the rotor (blade out of track, blade imbalance) as well as vibration during the transition from hover to forward flight. The Motion Seats (such as the two, three and six dof seat) that Servos' manufactures can also be used as Seat Shakers. The Motion Seats provide two axes, three axes or six axes of motion in addition to vibration cues.

Servos' can design a Seat Shaker for your company's particular need. If you require further information on this apparatus, please contact engineering at info@servos.com or at 407-262-9042.
