ECCENTRIC VIBRATOR SYSTEMS AND METHODS
An apparatus that generates vibrational motion is disclosed. The apparatus includes a first mass, a second mass, a drive system, and a control system. The first mass is eccentrically mounted on, and configured to rotate about, a first shaft. The second mass is eccentrically mounted on, and configured to rotate about, a second shaft, with first and second shafts sharing a common axis. The drive system imparts rotational motion to first and second shafts, and the control system controls rotational frequencies, directions, and initial angles of the first and second masses. Linear, elliptical, or circular vibratory motion of the apparatus may be induced by controlling such rotational properties of the first and second masses. The apparatus may include a measurement device that measures angular position and/or velocity of the first and second masses. The control system may control the vibrational motion based on measurements taken by the measurement device.
Adjustable rotating weight
This disclosure is drawn systems, devices, apparatus, and/or methods related to the separation of a mixture of solids according to size and the separation of solids from liquid. Specifically, this disclosure is drawn to an adjustable weight set for use on vibratory separators. In some examples, the adjustable weight set may include a base plate rotatable about an axis and extending radially outward from the axis; a plurality of slots extending through the base plate and being disposed between a radially outward periphery of the base plate and the axis; a plurality of weights coupled to each other about the base plate; and a weight locking tab that partially surrounds the base plate that may include one or more hooks extending through a portion of a slot.
