Vibration excitation with electromagnet

[acoustic67]

Hello dear community

I m searching a solution to excite the vibration of a steel plate without contact. My idea was to use a kind of electromagnet and send a white/pink noise to generate vibration in the plate but i don't know really which one to buy for this project. The plate (30cm x 30cm) is in metal 0.001mm supported on the 4 sides. Do you have any idea or other proposals, please?
I thank you very much for your help!

Hmm, in the reverse case we use capacitance not magnetism. It'll be very easy to damage your foil.

Thank for your reply. I made a mistake in the thickness. It s 1mm and not 0.001mm.
So do you think electromagnet could work and which one?

Ah, yes I thought the thickness was a bit exotic. Sorry, i literally have no idea how to spec an electromagnet for that job. It rather depends on what you need it to do.

What are the requirements? Frequency, amplitude, etc.? Can't really expect any serious design solution without requirements.

Isn't this just a very inefficient speaker?

I think a frequency range from 10 to 1000Hz, and amplitude just enough to excite the modes of the plates.

You re right, i have already use a speaker but it doesn't work well but perhaps a modified speaker could work?

Try something like this.

No idea 1000 Hz would do.
