Key Characteristics vs other piston vibrators: Produces one impact at a time using built-in timer.
General Characteristics: Moderate life, rugged construction, simulates a blow from a hammer.
Energy Source: Air Powered/Pneumatic.
Force Output: Linear.
Force Output Range: 5 to 448 lbs.
Usage Recommendation: Intermittent operation (4 – 8 hours per day)
Description: Produces one impact at a time. Frequency of impacts are controlled by built-in air timing mechanism. Extremely low air consumption. Lower noise exposure than continuously impacting piston vibrator. A steel piston reciprocates in a cylinder housing at high frequencies and impacts on harden end plates. This 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.
