Vibrating screen exciters are mechanical devices that generate the vibration necessary for screening materials in industries such as mining, metallurgy, and construction. There are several types of vibrating screen exciters, each with its unique design and method of operation.
Operation: Electromagnetic exciters use an electromagnetic field to create a vibrating motion. The alternating current passed through a coil creates a magnetic field that moves the screen.
Usage: These are often used for fine material screening, where high-frequency vibrations are required.
Operation: These consist of a motor with unbalanced weights attached to either end of the rotor shaft. As the motor spins, the unbalanced weights generate centrifugal forces, causing the screen to vibrate.
Usage: Common in both circular and linear motion screens, these exciters are versatile and used in many screening applications.
Operation: These exciters use a gearbox that drives the screen’s vibratory motion. The gearbox typically contains gears that generate a consistent vibratory motion when powered by an electric motor.
Usage: Often used in heavy-duty applications where significant vibration forces are needed, such as in mining screens.
Operation: In direct drive exciters, the vibration is generated directly by an electric motor without any intermediate gearbox or mechanical linkage. The motor is typically mounted directly on the screen.
Usage: Used in high-frequency and fine material screening, they provide precise control over the vibration frequency.
