Key Characteristics vs other piston vibrators: Quietest of the standard piston models.
General Characteristics: Moderate life, rugged construction, simulates a blow from a hammer.
Energy Source: Air Powered/Pneumatic.
Force Output: Linear.
Force Output Range: 85 to 1,000 lbs.
Usage Recommendation: Intermittent operation (4 – 8 hours per day),
Description: Quieter operation because piston does not strike the end plates. Considerable reduction in force output requires at least one size larger than an impacting model to compensate for loss of energy transfer. Motion simulates the blows of a hammer and causes any object attached to the vibrator to vibrate at its natural frequency. Internal porting allows the piston to reciprocate without the need for external valves other than to control air supply. Frequency and force can be adjusted by varying the air pressure.
Product Applications: Hoppers, silos, and pipelines where noise is a factor.
