Product catalog summary
Introduction
ROSTA Oscillating Mountings are designed for elastic suspensions in screening machines and shaker conveyors, offering features such as high dampening, long lifespan, and overload protection. These maintenance-free mountings are suitable for various applications, including circular and linear motion screens, gyratory sifters, and shaker conveyors.
Specifications
The document details different types of oscillating mountings, including AB, ABI, AB-HD, and AB-D, each with specific natural frequencies and load capacities. These mountings support one-mass and two-mass systems, with configurations for circular and linear motion screens. It also lists models with their natural frequency, dynamic spring values, and capacity limits at different rpm, emphasizing acceleration limits to prevent damage.
Procedures
Installation recommendations include mounting circular vibratory screens on ROSTA type AB or AB-HD oscillating mountings with mirror-inverted positioning to counteract gravity shifts. Linear vibrating screens should use six or more mountings for even suspension. Detailed steps for installing one-mass and two-mass systems are provided, highlighting the importance of alignment and proper torque application.
Norms and Recommendations
For optimal performance, specific mounting configurations and alignment of elements are suggested to ensure harmonic and noiseless oscillation. Guidelines for determining average material conveying speed and aligning suspension elements are included. Asymmetrical double rockers are recommended for high-speed conveyors, and oversized drive heads for heavy-duty applications.
Key Data and Calculations
Selection tables for different mounting types detail natural frequencies, dynamic spring values, and capacity limits. Calculation formulas for oscillating machine factors, centrifugal force, and vibration isolation are provided. Formulas for oscillation angles and dynamic spring values, with parameters like eccentric radius and center distance, are included.
Conclusion
ROSTA Oscillating Mountings enhance the performance of screening machines and shaker conveyors by providing effective vibration isolation and support. The document offers comprehensive guidelines for selecting and installing the appropriate mounting type based on specific application requirements.
Additional Information
Further basic information and calculations are available in the ROSTA catalogue, particularly in the Technology section, for permissible frequencies and other technical details.

Technology of free oscillating systems with unbalanced excitation Oscillating Mountings Introduction Free oscillating systems are either activated in using exci­ers, t unbalanced motors or unbalanced shafts. The oscillation amplitude, type of vibration and the direction of vibration of the screen are determined by the dimensioning and arrangement of these actuators. The excitation force, the angle of inclination of the excitation, the inclination of the screen-box and the position of the center of g ­ ravity determine the resulting oscillation amplitude of the device. The oscillation amplitude,...

Linear motion screens Linear vibrating screens are preferably mounted on ROSTA oscillating mountings type AB or AB-HD. Depending on the positioning of the exciter on the screening frame, the feed-end: discharge-end load distribution can be different. The feed-end side is normally lighter, as the exciters are positioned close to the discharge-end and thereby pull the material through the screening frame; in many cases, the feed-end: discharge-end distribution is thereby 40% to 60%. In the interest of an even suspension, it is thereby recommended to mount the screening frame on six or more ROSTA...
