Drive Systems: Equipm Ent Com Ponents

Vibratory equipment uses drive systems to generate vibration, trays to carry products, and springs to control amplitude. Drives can be electromagnetic or mechanical, powered by AC or DC sources. In the 1950s, Eriez developed an electromagnetic drive called the Hi-Vi, which offered advantages over other drives. Eriez now designs different electromagnetic and mechanical units. Electromagnetic drives use magnetic circuits energized by AC or DC power to vibrate a spring-mounted mass and tray. AC drives provide high precision at lower operating costs than DC drives.

EQUIPM ENT COM PONENTS All vibratory equipment share common components a drive system to generate the vibration,

a tray or trough to carry the product and springs to give the vibration amplitude creating motion. Every system will require an AC or DC power source and must be mounted either from above or below in order to produce a consistent force. Drive Systems In the mid 1950s, Eriez parlayed their considerable knowledge of magnetics and process engineering to develop a newpatented electromagnetic drive system. This new drive, named Hi-Vi, offered remarkable advantages over other systems available in the market. The Hi-Vi drive was the basis for Eriez first feeder product line. Eriez now designs and builds a complete line of electromagnetic and mechanical vibratory units. Electromagnetic Drives Electromagnetic drive systems operated by either AC or DC power. Both drives use magnetic circuits to energize the vibratory motion. A spring setup is mounted to a mass within or on the drive and attached to the units tray. Each of these drives has its advantages with AC units providing high precision with lower operating costs and the DC models typically being less expensive.

PERMANENT MAGNET

AC Operated Electromagnetic Drives using alternating opposing and attracting magnetic forces are extremely accurate, reliable and energy efficient. These units have no sliding or rotating parts to wear out and require very little power to operate. Eriez patented AC operated electromagnetic drives incorporate a permanent magnet whose poles are intermeshed with those of an electromagnet powered directly by alternating current. This results in the spring-mounted moving mass being both attracted and repelled by the AC electromagnet equally on each half of the AC cycle. See the diagram A.
