Abstract:
A force generator for an active vibration control (AVC) system provides a mass located upon an inner circular member which is movable within an outer circular member to simultaneously complete one revolution about its axis as it orbits within the outer circular member to compensate for sensed vibrations. A crank mounts the inner circular member and a counterweight. The crank is rotated by a prime mover such as an electric motor. The mass will therefore generate a sinusoidal inertial force in a straight line. Multiple systems are suitably arranged to be used in conjunction with one another to provide a wide range of inertial force outputs.
Abstract:
A shaking machine for subjecting a shaking table to a circular orbit revolution motion by the rotation of a drive shaft, comprising the drive shaft (13) formed at the upper end thereof with an eccentric shaft portion (12) off-centered a preset distance, a frame (16) for supporting the drive shaft via a bearing (14) and the shaking table (18) provided on the lower face thereof with a bearing (17) for fitting to the eccentric shaft portion, wherein the frame and the shaking table are joined by the corotation restricting coupling (19) of the shaking table and the drive shaft penetrates through the coupling.
Abstract:
A vibration assembly for a surface compactor machine includes a support subassembly connected to the compacting surface of the surface compactor machine. A primary eccentric shaft is disposed around a secondary eccentric shaft, with the primary and secondary eccentric shafts both rotatable about a common axis of rotation. One or more of primary bearing subassemblies is disposed between the primary eccentric shaft and the support subassembly for supporting the primary eccentric shaft during rotation of the primary eccentric shaft. One or more secondary bearing subassemblies is disposed between the secondary eccentric shaft and the primary eccentric shaft for supporting the secondary eccentric shaft during rotation of the primary eccentric shaft.
Abstract:
A surface compactor machine includes a compacting surface for compacting a substrate, a first motor, a second motor, a support assembly, and a controller. The first motor rotates a first eccentric shaft. The second motor rotates a second eccentric shaft. The support assembly is connected to the first and second eccentric shafts to transfer vibration forces to the compacting surface. The controller controls speed of at least one of the first and second motors so that a rotational speed of the second eccentric shaft is an integer, greater than 1, times faster than a rotational speed of the first eccentric shaft to generate a composite displacement waveform that vibrates the compacting surface upwards and downwards, wherein the composite displacement waveform includes a zero amplitude coordinate, a wave section located above the zero amplitude coordinate, and a wave section located below the zero amplitude coordinate that is asymmetric relative to the wave section located above the zero amplitude coordinate.
Abstract:
A haptic actuator includes mechanical links defining a first J-trajectory and mechanical links defining a second J-trajectory as well as a motor coupled to the mechanical links so as to synchronously accelerate a first mass over the first J-trajectory and a second mass over the second J-trajectory. During a first time interval, reactive forces of the first mass accelerating substantially balance reactive forces of the second mass accelerating and during a second time interval reactive forces of the first mass accelerating do not substantially balance reactive forces of the second mass accelerating. This un-balanced condition results in a tap signal being produced.

Abstract:
A bulk material handling assembly comprises a pair of spaced-apart walls, an elongate vibrator, a pair of saddle clamps, and a pair of locking members. The saddle clamps encircle and releasably secure the axial end portions of the vibrator to the spaced-apart walls of the bulk material handling assembly. The locking members are secured to the saddle clamps and to the end portions of the vibrator.
