HOW IT WORKS:
Compressed air passes throughthe inlet hose into the rotor. The air pressure lifts the vane and presses it against the shaft wall at the same time the air pressure presses the rotor against the shaft wall. The compressed air is forced out thorugh the slots in the vane and creates a high and low pressure chamber in the shaft. The hgh pressure chamber (2) will increase as compressed air fills it while the rotor turns. When filled to a certain point (3) the air exhaust ports in the rotor are exposed. When this happens the compressed air exhausts fast moving the rotor to the start position. This cycle repeats 12-15,000 times a minute creating the vibration. The weight of the rotor determines the vibration force.

VIBCO'S over 30 years job proven and patented High Frequency Internal Vibrator assure you of the latest innovations in vibration design technology, giving you the most maintenance free, long lasting unit on the market at lower than competition prices.

The simple, no bearing patented vane/rotor motor design insures reliable long life. The patented "wear plate" design eliminates expensive maintenance repairs and shut downs. The patented "air-saver" design gives high frequency, high force vibratory performance with the lowest air consumption by retaining part of the compressed air during exhaust cycle to boost vibration frequency and power, preventing dampening and slowing down of unit "start every time." The vane type motor has no bearings and only one moving rotor that produces forces from 500 lbs. to 2,000 lbs. at frequencies up to 18,000 VPM. All models operate on compressed air up to 110 PSI. Head sizes are 1-3/8", 1-3/4", 2-1/2", and 3". To select proper head size use same selection as for VIBCO'S electric internal vibrators.
