Metalfab 4P Series Vibrator
Operation & Maintenance Data
Introduction
The Metalfab Electric Vibratory Motor you have purchased is of special
manufacture. It has been designed and manufactured solely for use
as a vibratory motor, to ensure the best possible performance and
reliability under severe duty applications.
Installations
The mounting bolts used must be of grade 8 or 9 material. When
installing the motor, it is necessary to use locking nuts and tighten the
bolts evenly to the recommended torque ratings. Never reinstall used
fasteners, as they may fail under load. Check the bolts for security
after the first thirty minutes of operation and repeat after the second
day of operation.
It is imperative that the eccentric weights at both ends of the shaft are
adjusted identically; “mirror images of each other”. When adjusting
the eccentric weights, use the least amount of amplitude and force to
move your material. This will provide longer vibrator life. Refer to
page four for eccentric weight adjustment.
All wiring of the vibrator motor must be done in accordance with
National Electric Code standards. Refer to the diagrams or page two
for wiring the motors. Each motor is supplied with a wiring diagram
inside the terminal box.
When wiring the motor, always utilize the ground connection.
Note: Never weld on the bin or structure without first
disconnecting the motor leads. Failure to do so may
cause damage to the motor windings and bearings
by grounding through the motor.
