A vibration molding device comprising a pedestal, a mold configured to contain molding material, a vibration stand on which the mold is placed, a vibration means to provide vibration to the mold, an elastic body that is placed between the vibration stand and the pedestal to support the vibration stand, wherein the vibration molding device is characterized in that a through hole is formed in the vibration stand, a descent restriction member which regulates the descending position of the vibration stand is erected on the top surface of the pedestal, the descent restriction member is disposed so that the descent restriction member penetrates the through hole.

An actuator includes a cylinder sandwiched between a fixing plate fixed to the other end surface of a supporting plate together with a servomotor and a bearing housing, a ball screw shaft having one end protruding into the cylinder through through holes of the fixing plate, a slide block screwed with one end of the ball screw shaft in the cylinder, a cylindrical-shaped piston coupled to an end of the slide block and reciprocatably located in the cylinder, linear motion bearing units located inside the bearing housing to movably support the piston, and linear motion bearing units located in the cylinder to movably support the slide block.

A low-frequency vibration machining center includes a cam, a transmission shaft, a roller, a tool holder, a driven follower, and an elastic member. An end of the transmission shaft is coaxially connected to the cam, and another end is provided for connecting to a driving device, which is adapted to drive the transmission shaft and the cam to rotate about a first axial direction. The roller is disposed at a position where the roller touches a cam surface of the cam. A second axial direction is defined to be perpendicular to the first axial direction. The roller and the tool holder are disposed at two opposite sides of the driven follower, respectively. The elastic member provides an elastic force to keep the roller being in contact with the cam surface. When the cam is rotated, the roller is pushed to move the driven follower and the tool holder in the second axial direction.

A method, system and apparatus for a vibration-masking device for use in the bed emits sufficient vibration to mask ambient vibrations and aid in sleep and relaxation. Low frequency vibrations also help reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis, also referred to as DVT. The apparatus is designed to be cooled so as to avoid overheating when used in the bed or in upholstered furniture.

In an ultrasound-assisted method, in each of at least two sonotrode arms (8, 9) of a sonotrode (7) that is fixed in a protruding manner, said sonotrode arms being connected to each other by means of a respective joint (10) in each case, a respective ultrasonic wave that is transverse to the protrusion direction and that oscillates in a resonance mode is produced, wherein ultrasonic waves superposed in the at least one joint (10) and oscillating in the sonotrode arms (8, 9) of the joint (10) oscillate at a phase offset from each other, and the oscillation planes of the superposed ultrasonic waves are parallel to each other. An ultrasonic system suitable for carrying out the method comprises an ultrasound source (1), a sonotrode (7) protruding from a sonotrode retainer (6), wherein the sonotrode (7) has at least two sonotrode arms (8, 9), which are connected to each other by means of a respective joint (10) in each case and of which at least two produce different resonance modes under ultrasonic excitation, and ultrasonic waves superposed in the at least one joint (10) and oscillating in the sonotrode arms (8, 9) of the joint (10) oscillate at a phase offset from each other. The invention further relates to a corresponding sonotrode (7).
