The total values for working force, centrifugal force and vibrator weight depend on the amount of vibrators used.

1) The displacement (double amplitude) results in: s = MA / (mR + m)

2) Acceleration of the vibrating construction at synchronous rpm: a = FZ / ((mR + m) * 9,81)

SERIES A Pendulum Vibrator
The vibrators of the Series A generate
instead of a circular force an elliptical,
almost linear force. This is possible due
to an elastic swivel joint on the mounting
base of these vibrators. Through this only
one pendulum vibrator instead of two
standard vibrators can be used for some
applications. Fields of application are e.g.:
Vibrating troughs and screens, Bunker
vibration, shaking stations.

SERIES R Compact design
The compact design of the Series R gen-
erates high centrifugal forces at minimum
space requirement. This qualifies the Se-
ries R especially for the use in machines,
e.g. as ram vibration of block making
machines. Further fields of application are
vibrating tables and battery formworks in
the concrete industry.

The High Frequency vibrators of this series
have to be operated with a frequency con-
verter or inverter. This allows a dynamic
rpm adjustment during operation and as a
result a change of the oscillation frequen-
cy. KNAUER offers for the R-HF Series
matching standard or custom-made power

SERIES V-HF High frequency vibrators for high
centrifugal forces
The high frequency vibrators of the
Series V-HF have to be operated with a
frequency converter or inverter. This
allows a dynamic rpm adjustment during
operation and as a result a change of the
oscillation frequency. KNAUER offers for
the V-HF Series matching standard or
custom-made power supplies.

Options:
• Power supply: 42 – 690 V
• Thermistor protection PTC 120°
• Individual color
• Other Temperature range
• Coupling of vibrators (Page 15)

SPECIAL VIBRATORS
Tornado vibrator
The Tornado vibrator was designed especially for the mould and ram vibration of mobile block making machines. The specialty: Due to
the use of different size belt pulleys on the vibrating elements, different interfering vibration frequencies are being generated. This way
the unwanted synchronisation of the vibrating elements can be avoided, at what the generated forces are almost neutralized.

Centrifugal force: 2 x 2500 – 11000 N Centrifugal force: 2500 – 15000 N

RPM: 7010 + 6850 U/min RPM: 7010/6850/8315 U/min

Jumbo vibrator
This Jumbo vibrator was designed for the use in stationary block making machines. The
compact design allows to achieve very high forces and therefore high acceleration values
in limited space. Hereby the design of the vibrating tables is easier and weight saving. The
mechanical synchronisation within the vibrator guarantees always a linear force output.

Centrifugal force: 27000 – 110000 N

RPM: 3800 – 5100 U/min

13
TURNOVER UNBALANCES
Some production processes require high forces for the compaction of the mixture, but
afterwards much lower forces for the de-aeration. Both necessary settings often cannot
be realised just by changing the rpm. Turnover unbalances provide, depending on the
direction of rotation two different unbalance values in one vibrator. Due to the fact that Centrifugal force: 10000 – 60000 N
the unbalances for both directions are also adjustable, ideal force settings for different
RPM: 1000 – 6000 U/min
process requirements can be found.

COUPLING of vibrators
For some applications, e.g. linear acting vibrating tables, it is not always useful to generate the needed force with only two vibrators.
Especially for larger vibrating tables it is often useful to induce the force evenly over the complete area of the table. This can be easily
achieved with coupled vibrators from KNAUER. Often weight can also be saved at the same time, because several small vibrators mostly
weigh less than two big vibrators with the same force. Hereby the total needed forces decrease, because only the reduced total weight
of the table has to be vibrated.
