Your new VIBCO pneumatic piston vibrator is constructed of fatigue-resistant steel alloys which
are heat treated to guarantee long service under high stress conditions. The at base plate
provides an efcient transmission of the shock energy to the system which is developed by the
reciprocating piston. The repetitive hammer action of the vibrator on the apparatus to which it is
attached is controllable by regulating the incoming applied air pressure.
Optional Features:
VIBCO pneumatic piston vibrators are available in many different congurations. Your piston
vibrator can be custom made to include features that will accomodate high impact, low noise,
high amplitude, and high temperature requirements. Some models (-EM sufx) are equipped
with an exhaust manifold to lead off exhausting air. Contact VIBCO if you would like more
information.

3" to 4" / bin wall = 3/8" to 1/2" 4" channel iron 6" to 8" on both sides of vibrator
Mounting Channel
Never place the vibrator directly onto the skin of the bin. It should be mounted to either a plate or
a piece of channel iron that has been stitch welded to the bin. The proper mounting method is
to use either 3 in. or 4 in. channel iron. This will help to stiffen the structure to be vibrated as well
as spread the vibration over a larger surface, increasing the overall efciency and diminishing the
possibilities of fatigue cracks in the bin material.
The length and size of the channel iron is determined by the piston diameter. For 5/8 to 1-1/4 in.
diameters, use 3 in. channel iron and extend it 18 to 36 in. on both sides of the vibrator. 1-1/2 to
2 in. diameters should use 4 in. channel iron and extend it 3 to 4 in. on both sides of the vibrator.
3 to 4 in. diameters should use 4 in. channel iron and extend it to 6 to 8 in. on both sides of the
vibrator.

Different Suggestions for Mounting the Channel
1. Mounting plate welded to legs of channel iron.
2. 3 or 4 in. channel with holes drilled thru and nuts welded on back , or just holes drilled thru.
3. Mounting channel with mounting plate and holes drilled or tapped thru.
4. Notch the channel for access to mounting bolts.
5. Weld studs to back of channel.
NOTE: for a list of alternate mounting brackets, see pg. 35 of the VIBCO General Catalog.
Placement
For coarse materials the vibrator should be mounted approximately 1/3 of the distance from
the discharge opening to the top of the sloped portion of the bin. For ne grain materials place
the vibrator approximately 1/4 of the same distance (see different mounting suggestions on the
following pages).
Welding Channel Iron to Bin
Where possible, the mounting plate or the channel iron should be placed 1/3 to 1/4 of the distance
from the discharge opening to the top of the sloped portion of the bin. Tack weld channel iron
in place, then weld intermittent welds 3 in. to 6 in. long with 3 in. between them along the entire
length of the channel. Stop weld a minimum of 1 in. from the ends. It is important that you do not
weld the ends of the channel iron. The heat concentration when welding the ends could cause
premature fatigue cracks.
Installing Safety Chain
It is important to install a safety chain or wire in order to prevent the vibrator from falling and
potentially causing injury if it comes loose from its mount.

Always stop welds 1 in.
from ends to prevent heat
concentration and bin crack.
Stitch weld channel: weld 2 to
3 inches, skip 1 to 2 inches and
repeat until securely mounted.
Standard piston models should
be mounted at least 15 degrees
from the ground. Anything less
than 15 degrees requires a
spring (-SP) model.
Welding Mounting Plate to Channel Iron
Stitch weld the mounting plate to the middle of the channel iron. If the bin plate is 3/16 in. or
less, weld the mounting plate to the back of the channel iron (see Figure 3 or 4). If the bin plate
is over 3/16 in. weld the mounting plate to the legs of the channel iron (see Figure 1). Drill and
tap holes or use studded plate (see Figure 1 or 5). Make sure the mounting plate does not warp
or distort. If this occurs, straighten, replace it or shim vibrator.

Heat Mounts for Insulated Bins Containing High Temperature Materials: When materials in
the bin have a temperature over 150oF, it is advisable to use a “heat” mount to prevent excessive
heat from reaching the vibrator and causing overload or bearing failure. Also, ask for “high”
temperature grease in vibrator bearing. Consult VIBCO for vibrator size.
Wood Bin: Use steel plate on inside and bolt
to outside mounting channel.
Concrete Bin: Mount steel plate on inside of
bin so that the vibrator sits 1/3 up bin side.
Isolate the plate from the concrete by using
vibration shock absorbers. Consult VIBCO for
detailed drawings.

CHUTES: In order to successfully move material in a chute, the “angle of repose” of the material
has to be known. It can be found in most handbooks or can easily be measured by pouring a cup
of the material on a table. The angle between the table and the cone the material makes is the
“angle of repose”. To move the material in the chute, it should be inclined no less than 1/2 of the
“angle of repose” If this cannot be obtained, a feeder is necessary to move the material.

• Force (impact) needed on vibrator is equal to weight of chute + vibrator + max material
in chute.
• Chutes must have an inclination of at least 10o for vibrators to be able to move the
material. If inclination is less the chute has to be made into a feeder. Contact VIBCO for
selecting the proper size vibrator or ask for the bulletin covering chutes.
• Chutes up to 6 ft. are generally handled by one vibrator mounted approximately 1/3 from
the discharge.
• On chutes over 6 ft. long, two vibrators are needed, one should be placed 18 - 24
inches from the discharge. The other approximately in the middle. Since chutes are
very sensitive to vibration, provision should be made to move the lower vibrator 6 inches
in either direction. This could mean the difference between moving the material or not
moving it.
For optimum performance follow these guidelines:

Installation of the Vibrator
It is now time to put the VIBCO vibrator in place. Make sure that it is secured tightly. Retighten
the bolts after the rst 10 to 15 minutes of operation and check them periodically to maintain
proper tightness (gures 1 and 2).

Flow Valve
A simple ow control valve is recommended to allow “tuning” the vibrator to the desired force.
The air ow determines the force and frequency of the vibrator. By throttling the air ow, you can
“nd” the desired material discharge rate. Watch for and avoid speeds (frequency) at which the
binwall and the vibrator shake violently. An increase or decrease of air ow usually stops the
excessive movement and will smooth out the operation, assuming the mount is rigid.
Quick Opening Valves
Recommended between the air regulator and the vibrator so the air enters the vibrator at full
starting force even with low regulator valve settings. The only requirement is that you install
the air regulator at least 12 inches away from the quick opening valve so that the air pressure
between the two valves will build up enough to yield the necessary starting force. Solenoid
(quick opening) valves are suggested for automatic operations. Automatic Timed Cycling is
programmed with the timer usually directly connected to the bin or hopper gate switch. When
the gate is opened the timed cycling system is activated.
Air Filter
It is recommended that you use an air lter in the line. Clean air will prolong the life of any
pneumatic vibrator. Dirty or moist air will harm the unit and impair it from operating at maximum
efciency and lowest air consumption.
Air Lubricator:
Lubricaton is required for the operation of the pneumatic piston vibrators. The lubricator should
be set at 1 drop for every 10 CFM the vibrator requires. Use SAE-10 oil or lighter.
Air Line To Vibrator
The hose to the inlet port of the vibrator should have the same or larger hose I.D. as the inlet I.D.
(pipe size) of the vibrator to minimize pressure loss from the compressor to the vibrator. Check
the technical data section of this manual, and nd the specications that meet your model to
ensure you have the correct sizes.

Maximum Air Pressure
The operating pressure of the vibrator should not exceed 80 psi unless specially contructed for
higher pressure standards by VIBCO.
Maximum Temperature
The operating temperature of the vibrator should not exceed 200oF (93oC). High temperature
units are available.
PHONE: [phone] FAX: [phone]
WWW.VIBCO.COM [email protected]
Contaminated air will shorten the life of the vibrator considerably, and will clog the critical
clearance between the cylinder and the piston. It will also increase the wear of the piston,
increasing the air consumption and diminishing vibrator efciency.
Water in the air line will reduce the effectiveness of the lubrication necessary to make the unit
operate and lubricate properly.
Water, dirt and air line rust at air pressures over 80 psi will create a sludge similar to grinding
compound and will wear down the piston and the cylinder very quickly.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS FOR LONG OPERATING LIFE

To Obtain Maximum Performance
It is not necessary to operate the vibrator at its maximum capacity to obtain maximum performance.
Air regulators, timers, etc. should be used to tune the vibrator for optimum performance and
ensure longer life.
Continuous vs. Intermittent Operation
For bulk material bin applications, the vibrator should be used to reduce the material friction and
increase ow, not as a feeder. Once the friction of the particles is reduced, gravity ow takes
over and the vibrator should then be turned off for several reasons:
Economy. Most vibrators are run 60% to 80% longer than they should. Short bursts of vibration
are usually more effective than operating continuously. Experience has shown that for most
applications, short bursts of 10 to 30 seconds for every 1 to 5 minutes of discharge are more
effective and efcient.
Life of the Unit. The life of the vibrator will be determined by the length of operation and the
cleanliness of the air supply.
Guaranteed Success of the Application. The vibrator can only furnish material to the
discharge area. If more is furnished than conveyed, the remaining material will pack inside the
bin. We suggest the vibrators only run when the bin gates or doors are open, or when material
ow is needed.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PHONE: [phone] FAX: [phone]

No oil in the air will cause the piston and cylinder walls to wear down rapidly, in some cases less
than 8 hours.
In extremely cold applications it is advised to mix antifreeze or kerosene with the oil.
Inject a small quantity of kerosene directly into the vibrator occasionally in order to clean out any
accumulated sludge.
Air pressure in excess of 80 psi will increase the velocity of the piston, diminishing the protective
oil lm and increasing the unit wear.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The Vibrator Won’t Start!
1. Check for dirt in the airline
2. Check to see if there’s any lubrication (remember 1 drop per minute per every 10 CFM)
3. Double check the size of your air line - is it large enough to give you the correct cubic feet per
minute (CFM) and correct air pressure (minimum required = 20 PSI)?
4. Did you mount the air regulator far enough away from the quick acting valve for the right
amount of air pressure to build up?
5. Is the vibrator mounted horizontally? If so, did you get the model with the spring?

The improper welding of vibrator to bin stiffeners often results in fatigue cracks in the bin. This
can be prevented by properly welding stiffeners to the bin side. A stiffener should be stitch
welded to the bin leaving 3 to 4 inches between welds. STOP WELDS 1 IN. FROM THE ENDS
OF THE STIFFENER. This will prevent fatigue cracks that occur due to crystalization of the
material. This crystalization is caused by the heat concentration that develops when the ends of
the channel iron are welded. To stop the cracks, drill a hole at the end of each crack and weld on
a piece of angle iron as shown above. When welding the angle iron STOP WELDS 1 IN. FROM
THE ENDS.

Field repairs of piston vibrators are limited to replacing bolts, nuts, washers, o-rings and rubber
shocks. Any other repairs should be done at VIBCO.
Bolt breakage is caused by:
1) Air pressure in excess of 80 psi.
2) Loose mounting bolts.
3) Excessive movement of vibrator on hopper or bin caused by:
A) Too exible hopper or bin that cannot absorb vibration created.
B) Operation on empty hopper.
4) Dried up rubber buffers. Buffers are used to absorb shock energy and prolong bolt
life. Through aging the buffers will take a “set” and deteriorate. It is advisable to replace
all buffers and bolts at this time.
Rubber buffers should be replaced following these instructions. The bolts are not torqued but
tightened to compress the rubber buffers to dimension “A” of the chart.
