Product catalog summary
Introduction
ROSTA offers elastic suspensions for screening machines and shaker conveyors, providing maintenance-free and durable solutions. These systems include components like rocker arms, drive heads, and spring accumulators, designed to enhance energy efficiency and reduce noise.
Specifications
The document details various oscillating mountings such as AB, AB-HD, AB-D, ABI, and HS, each with unique natural frequencies and load capacities. These are tailored for applications involving impact loading, high production peaks, and industries like food and pharmaceuticals.
Procedures
Selection tables for free oscillating and guided systems are provided, indicating suitable mountings for configurations like one mass systems, two mass systems, and gyratory sifters. Guidelines for mounting configurations aim to optimize performance and minimize unwanted vibrations.
Technology
This section explains free oscillating systems, highlighting the importance of proper actuator arrangement for desired oscillation amplitudes and conveying speeds. It also discusses the advantages of ROSTA spring suspensions in achieving linear conveyor motion and high vibration isolation.
Design and Evaluation
Design considerations include mass distribution, acceleration, and load per corner. Calculation formulas are provided for oscillating machine factors, centrifugal force, and vibration isolation. Diagrams illustrate the relationship between exciter frequency and mount frequency, showing the degree of isolation achieved.
Recommendations
For optimal performance, ROSTA oscillating mountings should be used in mirror-inverted configurations for circular vibrators, with even suspension distribution for linear motion screens. The use of counterframes is advised to reduce residual force transmission in large or powerful machines.
Conclusion
ROSTA's oscillating mountings provide robust solutions for various industrial applications, ensuring efficient and reliable operation of screening machines and shaker conveyors. The document offers comprehensive guidance on selecting and configuring these systems to meet specific operational needs.

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...
