Data Tables
The document includes tables listing various vibrator models, detailing type, frequency, air consumption, centrifugal force, noise levels, weight, and price for comprehensive comparison.
Technical Specifications- Unidirectional vibration with low frequency and high reciprocating force.
- Extremely silent operation with adjustable force and frequency.
Operation
A steel piston within an aluminum body moves in a reciprocating motion using compressed air, generating vibrations without striking the cylinder walls. An external counterweight allows for the adjustment of vibration force and frequency.

Rotating Mechanical Vibrators
These vibrators have adjustable masses and are constructed with robust metal structures, suitable for mounting on concrete finishing machines and other industrial applications.
OperationThe rotating
mechanical vibrator generates a vibration force through unbalanced masses, powered by electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic motors, ensuring silent operation and durability.
Technical Features- Metallic body made of high-resistance steel or aluminum.
- Extra-dimensioned roller bearings for silent and long-lasting operation.
- Oil lubrication for bearings.
- Adjustable steel masses.
- Drag pulley for various motor types.
Applications- Concrete finishing machines, silo cleaning, material transport, and vibration resistance testing.
Mechanical Unidirectional Vibrators
Designed for unidirectional vibration applications, suitable for securing to structures requiring strong vibration.
Cradle Vices and Plates
Plates and cradle vices secure vibrators to structures, ensuring total vibration transmission.
