In the paper, the properties of the novel mechatronic set-up – the Vibration Stand are studied. The set-up consists of a spring-suspended platform with electrically driven unbalanced rotors, a personal computer for control of the stand and processing the data of experiments, set of sensors, computer interface facilities and an amplification-transformation unit. The experimental results are presented and compared with the simulation ones to demonstrate the motor parameter identification and PI-control of the unbalanced rotors angular velocity. The angular velocity control system in the frequency domain is experimentally studied and the Sommerfeld effect is demonstrated. The set-up may be widely used for development of new technologies in the manufacturing industry as well for physical researches and the education.
