Ludowici Exciter Guard – Ludowici Engineers
Home / Case Studies / Ludowici Exciter Guard – Ludowici Engineers
The challenge
Ludowici required an improved exciter guard that would enhance performance while reducing overall costs and production time. Traditional guards were often heavy, expensive, and time-consuming to manufacture, impacting both efficiency and practicality.
A new solution was needed to:
- Decrease weight while maintaining strength and durability.
- Reduce production time for faster turnaround and improved efficiency.
- Lower manufacturing costs without compromising on quality and performance.

The solution
Through a strategic collaboration with Ludowici engineers, we developed an optimised exciter guard that:
- Significantly decreases weight, making installation and handling easier.
- Streamlines production, reducing manufacturing time and improving efficiency.
- Cuts costs while ensuring the guard meets stringent industrial performance requirements.
- Provides superior durability and reliability proven through rigorous testing, including Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and High-Frequency Vibration Testing.

Works Undertaken
Design collaboration
Developed in partnership with Ludowici engineers to optimise weight, strength, and manufacturability.
FEA testing
Conducted advanced stress analysis to ensure the guard meets operational demands.
High-frequency vibration testing
Worked closely with Ludowici engineers to validate the guard’s performance under real-world conditions.
Mould pattern development
Created precision patterns for efficient production.
Full manufacturing
Successfully completed production, delivering a lightweight, cost-effective, high-performance exciter guard.
The result
This collaboration with Ludowici engineers resulted in a highly efficient, durable, and economical solution, meeting the industry’s evolving needs for lighter, faster, and more cost-effective components.
