Choosing the right vibrator for shakeout

Posted in: , on 15. Apr. 2008 - 17:21

Hi every one,

when I finished assemblying a shakeout, that used for shaking the moldings, and I fixed two vibrating motors(2.3 kw each), the vibrating motor should take 4 A and when I supply the power the two motors took 40 A.

So, is it an electrical problem with the vibrators

or, the motors are weaker than I should use and how I calculate the specifications of the new ones.

thanks waiting for ur suggestions

I am not a mechanical designer.........but, sounds to me like the motors are undersize for the STATIC weight of the vibrating body to which it is trying to THROW.

There is a motor calc........but, by others who are smarter than me.

Direct drive designs like the one you are working on take significant horsepower to impart the correct amount of vibration into the body of the shakeout... I agree your motors are most likely too small for the application. Having dimensions of the unit in question as well as the current motor specifications would help me answer your question better. For more information about how to choose the correct shakeout for your process, I have written an article on it at http://www.generalkinematics.com/us/...seshakeout.cfm
