A reliable electromechanical actuator for wave motion activities
Make wave motion and resonance feel immediate with a compact electromechanical driver that turns a signal into visible vibration. The Mechanical Wave Driver provides variable-frequency, variable-amplitude motion so students can see waves form, travel, and stand still in real time—perfect for demos and labs where you want clear nodes, antinodes, and resonance “aha” moments.
Used with a signal generator (required), the driver attaches to strings, springs, plates, and wire loops to excite oscillations on cue. That flexibility lets you move smoothly from simple transverse/longitudinal waves into richer harmonic patterns without changing equipment.
Why Teachers Love the Mechanical Wave Driver
- One driver, many wave labs: Drive standing waves on strings/wires, longitudinal waves on springs, Chladni plate patterns, and resonance of loops or strips.
- Dial-in resonance live: Variable frequency and amplitude make it easy to hunt resonant modes and show harmonics clearly.
- Classroom-ready and reliable: Compact, rugged build gives repeatable results for years of demos and stations.
The Mechanical Wave Driver is one component of the Mechanical Wave Complete Bundle (P7-1100) is the comprehensive solution to make exploring mechanical wave behavior visual, measurable, and unforgettable.

Product Details
Top Products the Mechanical Wave Driver Works With
- Sine Wave Generator (P7-2000) — the go-to match for smooth frequency sweeps and clear standing-wave harmonics.
- Digital Signal Generator (P6-8080) — for wider waveform options and fine control when exploring resonance.
- Transverse Wave String (Elastic String) Kit — essential for classic standing-waves-on-a-string labs.
- Chladni Plates Kit — drive plates to reveal nodes/antinodes with sand patterns.
- Longitudinal Wave Spring — the best visualization of how sound waves propagate and resonate.
- Resonance Wire Loop — quick, high-impact resonance/standing-wave demo tied to harmonics and Bohr-model discussions.
