  • Infinitely variable amplitude and frequency

The Highly Applicable, FP Series Vibrators are quiet, compact and efficient.

explosion proof air powered piston vibrators
Design and application

The FP-series pneumatic piston vibrators produce a linear vibration with an infinitely variable amplitude and frequency. The frequency is controlled by the air pressure. A self-starting spring is used in the vibrator body and operates at a minimum of 30 PSI. The aluminum body is hard coated and is corrosion resistant. The power-to-weight ratio of the unit makes it particularly efficient for feeder applications. Explosion-proof, light weight, compact, quiet and efficient, these units are ideal for most applications. Easy to install and designed to work continuously under the most arduous conditions. Servicing requirements are minimal.


Installation instructions

An air line filter and lubricator must be used to guarantee a lng working life. Hydraulic oil ISO VG5 = 5cSt/40°C, for example SHELL Tellus Oil C5 must be used. These vibrators are suitable for use in ambient temperatures up to 120°F.


General maintenance

The FP-series air piston vibrators have a long life with no undue piston or cylinder wear. The air line filter and lubricator must be inspected and cleaned at regular intervals. Dirt or contaminated oil will slow down or stop the vibrator.
