FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about Vibration Motors
What was a vibration motor?
A vibration motor is a motor that produces a soft to strong vibration through special imbalance weights. The engine usually weighs a few kilograms and can be used in construction machinery that uses products seven, cleaning, conveying or compacting. The vibration is achieved by the imbalance weights. Attached to the shaft ends of the motor, they provide a circular oscillation of the rotating shaft. The result: The device vibrates.
Components of industrial machines that are directly coupled to the device take over the generated movement. This results in a vibration or a slight to strong shaking. The machines are directly connected to the device via the motor foot.
Good to know:
With several vibration motors, which are in the opposite rotation mode, you can achieve directional vibrations. Accessories such as a frequency converter can also influence the intensity depending on the shaking process.
Applications
The vibration motors have their greatest use in industry. If construction materials and raw materials are to be compressed or distributed, production or sorting machines with the special motors are used. Even if the building materials are to be sorted, such a device with its vibrations can be useful.
Typical application of the engines is road construction, especially in the lush vibrating machines. But vibration devices are also useful in completely different sectors. They can thus ensure order when accurately aligning paper stacks in print shops or in packaging companies.
Depending on the application, the devices connected to the motors can:
- Dosing products
- Loosen or loosen raw materials
- Clean, drain or bleed machines
- Mix products or substances
- Compacting substances
Possible devices that are connected to the vibration elements are:
- Heavy Equipment
- Surface grillee
- Filter systems
- Packaging machines
- Feed pots
- Silos
What should be taken into account when buying the engine?
Since a vibration or vibration motor is often exposed to high loads, it must have a certain resistance to external influences. Moisture resistance is particularly important in road construction or in other areas where the motor devices are used outdoors. In addition, the equipment should be protected against heat, dust and regular mechanical stress to avoid frequent repairs.
Select the vibration motor also after the necessary centrifugal force. Very powerful models achieve up to 3,000 newtons, with smaller versions it is only a few hundred newtons. Depending on the application area, flexibly adjustable motor devices are desirable. For example, some devices have different power levels. Although the speed remains the same, the direction of rotation can be changed via a switch or an electrical control automatically ensures the adjustment.
Useful accessories: The frequency converter
The imbalance motor generates circular vibrations. In paired operation, a counter-rotating rotation occurs, so that a directional oscillation is achieved. Frequency converters are recommended to individually set these for each process. These optimize the frequency every time on the new; just as the application requires.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about Vibration Motors
How are the available motors different?
When selecting, pay attention to the elements such as centrifugal force and speed, which depend on the desired vibration frequency. In addition, there are devices that are electrically operated by cable or battery and others that function with the help of pressure force. At Conrad you will find purely electric vibration motors.
What are the tasks of the vibration motors?
The devices are primarily suitable for conveying, solving and compacting different materials and products. The extraction takes place by the individual particles being driven by the vibrations and thus able to migrate in one direction. The solution is based on the fact that the vibrations of the device loosen them from the dressing. The compression is achieved by a transfer of the material particles, which in turn succeeds by reducing the friction.
Where can the vibration motor be connected?
In most cases, a connection is possible in any position. However, it is important to have a firm, secure and level surface. The area in which the vibration or vibration motor is attached must be rigid to avoid damage from the strong vibrations.
