Applications
The AJAX R/KBM and R/KBC Series Rotary Electric Vibrators are specifically suited for flow aids, densification,
shake-out and metering of solid materials. Examples defined are related to Brute Force designs.

Flow Aids (page 3)

When moisture, temperature or grain size of material causes irregular flow through bins, hoppers, chutes, etc.,
vibration can be introduced to solve problems. AJAX vibrators break
up bridging in storage vessels, keeping material in continuous motion
and thus minimizing friction along the transporting body. As a general
rule, both 1800 and 3600 RPM are utilized pending the type
of application.

Densification or Shakeout (page 4)

Dual counter-rotating vibrators produce a rectilinear motion, which is
ideal for increasing the density of material in a container. The result is
20-50% more material in the container and a reduction in containers,
warehouse space and freight costs. The same principle in reverse
will shake-out foundry molds. Refer to the densification chart for
recommended frequencies and G-level. When using vibrators in a
shake-out mode, add one (1.0) G-level to the densification chart.

Metering or Transporting (page 5)

Dual counter rotating vibrators attached to feeders, screeners, sorters
and conveyors will meter and transport materials. Both vibrators
synchronize producing a rectilinear motion at 30 degrees to the flow path. Special consideration must be given to fabricating
a rugged mounting drive triangle as the vibrators must be attached to the same one-piece mounting structure. Here, 1200 and
900 RPM are generally the recommend frequency choices. Special attention must be given to the structures moment of inertia
when exceeding 1200 RPM. A dual magnetic starter having a single starter with two overloads is required for operation (refer to
page 11 diagram). Other enhancements include: variable speed control for tuning the flow rate or fast/dribble feed control and
dynamic braking to cut off the flow immediately.

Why buy competitive brands whose services offer limited experience using vibrators?
Renold offers personal or group training sessions reviewing the dynamics
of designing vibratory structures critical to sizing vibrators.

Metering or Transporting
When dual motor vibrators are directly attached to a trough
it is referred to as a “Brute Force” design. It is very simple
to calculate the necessary vibrator size/model by finding
the required force output (Fo), if you can project the desired
stroke. The stroke, also referred to as amplitude (peak to
peak), is the resultant action produced by these vibrators
when properly isolated. The following chart depicts the
maximum stroke electric vibrators should operate at a Find the load of material in the trough:

Setting of Eccentric Weight junction box lifting lug

If adjustments are made:

• insure both ends of the vibratorsʼ eccentric weights equal the
same percentage value
• when utilizing dual vibrators in a configuration to produce
a rectilinear motion; insure one is running CW, and one is
running CCW
• when utilizing dual vibrators for feeders, and the outer
eccentric weight is thinner than the inner weight, one vibrator
must be rotated 180˚ so the vibrators synchronize when
settings are less than 100% (It is a good rule to do this
all of the time)

Proper Hardware/Bolt Sizing

DETERMINING BOLT LENGTHS

• Add 1/8” for all washers
• Add bolt diameter for nut height
• Add 1/4” for thread past nut
• Round stack-up dimensions to largest quarter
EXAMPLE:
2 1/16” = next size = 2 1/4” large bolt

Dual Magnetic Starter

Notes:
1. Fusible disconnect supplied by others.
2. Control transformer always wired to customer
stated input voltage.
3. Control wires are 18 awg.
4. Overload size based upon amperage draw
and voltage.
5. Motors should always be wired counter rotating.

Single Magnetic Starter

Notes:
1. Fusible disconnect supplied by others.
2. Control transformer always wired to customer
stated input voltage.
3. Control wires are 18 awg.
4. Overload size based upon amperage draw
and voltage.
5. Motor should always be wired to rotate into the
product load or flow.

Note:
1. You can not synchronize (2) vibrators with a single starter.
2. You can hookup (2) vibrators to most VFDʼs, variable speed controllers
to synchronize.
3. If you require a VFD, but also need Dynamic Braking Model, you must
include a dual magnetic starter in your controls.
