Slip Table

ETS Solutions slip tables are designed to provide the optimum test platform for horizontal testing with any shaker combination. Two types of slip table are available to the user; a Unibase concept provides a structural steel body to align the shaker and table on a rigid platform, while a standalone slip table design allows the feasibility of any vertical shaker from ETS or other manufacturers to couple with the slip table assembly.

All slip tables are designed with a precision ground natural granite slab with a selection of guidance bearings to meet different applications and budgets. Slip tables can be provided in almost any size from 12 in (300 mm) square for small shakers to 8 feet (2.5 meter) square for the larger shaker systems. Different types of restraining bearings are available to meet different application requirements and operating budgets.

GT Series Oil film Slip Tables

Groove bearings, combined with a magnesium or aluminum slip plate. Oil is supplied through portholes in the granite slab and is dispersed throughout the underside of the slip plate. The oil film provides a low friction surface, a damping medium for restraint of resonances, pitch and roll moments. Yaw restraint is provided by the V-groove guide bearings combined with the armature guidance system.

GT Series guide bearings are primarily designed for use with ETS Unibase shakers but are available for any existing or new shaker.

BT Series Journal Bearing Slip Tables

The BT Series design provides a high over-turning moment and cross-axial restraint. This concept combines a standard slip table assembly with 3,000 psi hydrostatic bearings to provide high dynamic moment restraint while preserving the damping characteristics of an oil film. This system allows testing of heavy products with high centers gravity by reacting moments through the hydrostatic bearings. Cross-axis motion is constrained and is typically less than 10% of input at frequencies up to 2000 Hz. except at resonance. Additional hydrostatic bearings can be supplied to provide extra restraint when testing parameters require a higher overturning moment.

The BT Series Hydrostatic Slip Tables can be configured to any size or shape and are available with any ETS Unibase shaker for any existing single and multi-shaker installation.
