VIBRATOR SERIES

nnnn

The VMAX™ Linear Vibrator operates with low noise

nnnn

levels and high force outputs and accommodates

nnnn

the most demanding of applications. Special end

nnnn

mounts, dual ports and a totally enclosed housing

nnnn

make it one of the most unique linear vibrators on

nnnn

the market. With a state-of-the-art piston design,

nnnn

the VMAX linear vibrator does not require a spring

nnnn

to start and is centrifugally balanced, which

nnnn

prolongs the life and increases the force output

nnnn

over conventional models. The VMAX vibrator

nnnn

comes in a variety of sizes to suit almost every

nnnn

application, big and small.

nnnn

The VMAX vibrator is suitable for many different

nnnn

applications, including vibratory conveying,

nnnn

vibratory compacting and discharging of either dry

nnnn

or wet difficult to handle bulk solids from bins and

nnnn

hoppers. The VMAX linear vibrator is versatile

nnnn

with regard to most applications because its force

nnnn

output can be adjusted for a wide range of

nnnn

requirements by simply increasing the compressed

nnnn

air pressure and/or volume using conventional

nnnn

low cost air or electrical controls. The flexibility

nnnn

and range of the VMAX linear vibrator can be

nnnn

enhanced considerably by utilizing a two mass

nnnn

design, where the output force can be multiplied

nnnn

numerous times its normal maximum output. The

nnnn

VMAX linear vibrator can also be used to compact

nnnn

materials when filling containers to achieve

nnnn

maximum space utilization and save shipping

nnnn

costs.

nnnn

When designed into a vibratory conveyor for

nnnn

instance, the VMAX linear vibrator has tremendous

nnnn

cost and performance advantages over using an

nnnn

electric vibrating motor for the drive mechanism.

nnnn

This is because the VMAX linear vibrator starts and

nnnn

stops quickly and smoothly and is more controlled

nnnn

for significantly better performance. It does not go

nnnn

through a violent resonance phase like an electric

nnnn

vibrating motor. When an electric vibrating motor

nnnn

starts and/or stops, it goes through what is called a

nnnn

resonance phase, where the frequency of the

nnnn

vibrating system is at the natural frequency of the

nnnn

suspension. When this happens, amplification of

nnnn

movement occurs and the conveyor reacts violently.

nnnn

In addition, this violent movement takes some time

nnnn

to settle down and fully stop, which is not only

nnnn

detrimental for many applications, but can be

nnnn

costly to resolve as well.

nnnn

Also, because the VMAX linear vibrator operates

nnnn

with compressed air, it is a natural for explosion

nnnn

proof applications and much safer to use. When

nnnn

used with filtered and lubricated compressed air,

nnnn

the VMAX linear vibrator requires only minimal

nnnn

maintenance.
