Motion is produced by servocontrolled electrohydraulic actuators.
At less than full load, the maximum accelerations are considerably greater. At low frequencies, the system is limited by displacements of 6 in. The George Winter Laboratory includes a crane bay 55 x 60 by 40 high and a 6000 square foot low bay. The columns are designed as reaction points for vertical downward loads up to 750 kips at any point, vertical upward loads up to 50 kips at any point, and horizontal loads up to 50 kips in any direction within the lower 18 of the columns. A 10 ton capacity crane services the bay.
