Plate compactor
A compactor includes a plate, an electric motor coupled to the plate, an exciter coupled to the plate and configured to vibrate the plate in response to receiving torque from the electric motor, a means for transferring torque from the electric motor to the exciter, a battery configured to provide power to the electric motor, and a vibration isolator coupling the battery to the plate.
Gravel scarifying and levelling device with integrated roller device and methods of use thereof
A scarifier device includes a scarifier comprising a scarifier support frame having a plurality of downwardly depending axially secured scarifying teeth. An integrated roller device having a compaction roller on a roller support frame is pivotally coupled to the scarifier support frame. A hydraulic arm is positioned between the scarifier support frame and the roller support frame to articulate the roller device between a deployed position and a retracted position. Methods of making and using the scarifier device are also disclosed.
Plate compactor
A compactor including a plate, an electric motor coupled to the plate and including a motor shaft configured to rotate about a rotational axis, and an exciter coupled to the plate and configured to vibrate the plate in response to receiving torque from the electric motor. The exciter includes an exciter shaft and an eccentric mass attached thereto. The compactor additionally includes a battery configured to provide power to the electric motor, and a gear train to transfer torque from the motor shaft to the exciter shaft. The gear train permits the exciter to be driven at a rotational speed that is faster or slower than a rotational speed of the electric motor.
PLATE COMPACTOR
A compactor includes a plate and an electric motor coupled to the plate. The electric motor includes a first shaft configured to rotate about a first rotational axis. The compactor further includes an eccentric mass coupled to a second shaft and configured to rotate about a second rotational axis in response to receiving torque from the electric motor. The first rotational axis is parallel to the second rotational axis. The compactor further includes a battery configured to provide power to the electric motor. The compactor further includes a gear configured to receive torque from the electric motor. The gear transmits the torque to the second shaft to rotate the eccentric mass.
