  • Weigh the surround with the inner clamping
  • Measure outer diameter Do of the suspension part (without rim)
  • Look in the look-up table to find the lower clamping ring having an inner diameter which is just larger than Do.

  • Bring the clamping platform into horizontal position for easy handling
  • Insert the lower ring into the clamping platform
  • Put the slide with the clamped suspension on the guiding rod.
  • Fix the upper ring to clamp the outer rim

Measurement

Bring the clamping platform into vertical position, close the bench and start measurement:
  • The suspension part is excited pneumatically to vibrate at the resonance frequency.
  • A frequency sweep (3 Hz to 30 Hz) is used from TRF Module.
  • Stiffness is calculated from the measured displacement (one-signal-method) with SPM Software.
  • Results show the nonlinear stiffness and reciprocal compliance versus displacement
