| 20080219085 | Vibration exciter - A vibration exciter, particularly for a vibration pile driver, comprises at least two axles disposed parallel to one another, as well as at least two imbalance masses, which are attached to one or more of the axles. The relative rotary position of the imbalance masses can be adjusted relative to one another by at least one rotary oscillating motor having a rotor shaft and a stator housing. The rotor shaft is an integral part of one of the axles, and the rotary position of the stator housing relative to the rotor shaft can be changed. The stator housing has at least one closure lid that is at least partially unreleasably coated with a slide alloy, for radial and axial bearing of the rotor shaft. At least one shaft seal is disposed between the rotor shaft and stator housing. The seal is hydraulically biased and provided with a support element. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20100254212 | Method for resonant-vibratory mixing - A method for mixing fluids and/or solids in a manner that can be varied from maintaining the integrity of fragile molecular and biological materials in the mixing vessel to homogenizing heavy aggregate material by supplying large amounts of energy. Variation in the manner of mixing is accomplished using an electronic controller to generate signals to control the frequency and amplitude of the motor(s), which drive an unbalanced shaft assembly to produce a linear vibratory motion. The motor may be a stepper motor, a linear motor or a DC continuous motor. By placing a sensor on the mixing vessel platform to provide feedback control of the mixing motor, the characteristics of agitation in the fluid or solid can be adjusted to optimize the degree of mixing and produce a high quality mixant. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20120092948 | Concrete vibrator system and motor therefor - A concrete vibrator system with a constant speed motor, one of a set of vibrator heads with different load characteristics, and one of a set of drive shafts connecting the motor output shaft with one of the vibrator heads. A speed control circuit senses motor shaft speed and maintains constant speed. The motor is cooled by a fan mounted on the motor rotor which draws air through an inlet and exhausts air through an outlet both of which face downwardly when the motor is in use. Rain or other liquids are prevented from reaching the motor. | 04-19-2012 |
