# Industrial Specification: Vibrator / Exciter

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical or electromagnetic device that generates controlled vibrations to drive material flow in a vibrating feeder.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-5.0 mm amplitude at 50-300 Hz frequency, 0.1-2.0 m/s² acceleration**. Failure boundary: **Exceeding 6.0 mm amplitude at resonant frequency (typically 250-280 Hz) or continuous operation above 80°C winding temperature**, Mechanism: **Resonant fatigue failure from exceeding natural frequency limits (Hooke's Law: σ = Eε) or insulation breakdown from Arrhenius equation thermal aging (doubling failure rate per 10°C above 80°C)**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Harmonic Vibration Force Generation**:

> **Primary Equation**: $F_e = m \cdot r \cdot \omega^2 \sin(\omega t)$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Calculates centrifugal force for vibratory sifters/feeders.

- **Caution**: 

### Q: What is the difference between electromagnetic and mechanical vibrators/exciters?
**A**: Electromagnetic vibrators use copper coils to create vibrations through magnetic force, offering precise frequency control, while mechanical vibrators use eccentric weights driven by motors for higher amplitude vibrations in heavy-duty applications.

### Q: How do vibration isolators improve equipment performance?
**A**: Rubber vibration isolators absorb and dampen vibrations, preventing transmission to supporting structures, reducing noise, minimizing wear on components, and protecting surrounding machinery from excessive shaking.

### Q: What maintenance is required for industrial vibrators/exciters?
**A**: Regular maintenance includes checking bearings for wear, inspecting eccentric weights for balance, ensuring electrical connections on electromagnetic coils are secure, and replacing rubber isolators when they show signs of degradation or cracking.
