Abstract: A vibration generator has at least two shaft groups, on which at least two imbalance groups are disposed, and which are connected with at least one drive by means of which they are put into rotation. The shaft groups are connected with the at least one drive so that the speed of rotation of one shaft group amounts to a multiple of at least one other shaft group, and the shaft groups demonstrate a significantly different static moment with regard to one another. At least one of the shaft groups is connected with a phase shifter, by way of which the static moment of the shaft group can be adjusted.

Abstract: A device for driving and extraction of sheet piles into or from the ground, respectively, has a leader on which an exciter cell is guided. The exciter cell is coupled with an advancing system by way of which it can be moved in linear manner. The exciter cell is rigidly connected with at least one guide element that is exclusively guided on the leader and elastically connected with the advancing system.

Abstract: A vibration generator has two groups of shafts, on which at least two groups of imbalances are disposed, and which are connected with at least one drive, by means of which they are put into rotation. The shaft groups are connected with the at least one drive in such a manner that the speed of rotation of one shaft group amounts to half the speed of rotation of the other shaft group, and the ratio of the static moments of the shaft groups provided with the imbalance groups amounts to between six to one and ten to one.

Abstract: A vibration exciter, particularly for a vibration pile driver, comprises at least two axles disposed parallel to one another, as well as at least two imbalance masses, which are attached to one or more of the axles. The relative rotary position of the imbalance masses can be adjusted relative to one another by at least one rotary oscillating motor having a rotor shaft and a stator housing. The rotor shaft is an integral part of one of the axles, and the rotary position of the stator housing relative to the rotor shaft can be changed. The stator housing has at least one closure lid that is at least partially unreleasably coated with a slide alloy, for radial and axial bearing of the rotor shaft. At least one shaft seal is disposed between the rotor shaft and stator housing. The seal is hydraulically biased and provided with a support element.

Abstract: Bearing arrangement for a rotatable shaft comprising an inner bearing part for coupling to an end of the shaft, an outer bearing part for coupling to a mounting structure, and an axis of rotation, wherein at least one of the inner bearing part and the outer bearing part, at least in certain areas, possesses elastic deformability, at least in part, perpendicular to the axis of rotation, and an arrangement comprising the bearing arrangement and a shaft, as well as an oscillator comprising the latter.

Abstract: A vibration generator for a vibration pile driver has imbalance masses that can rotate and which are disposed on shafts. The rotational position of the imbalance masses can be adjusted relative to one another. A control and regulation circuit is provided which has a memory unit for storing ground composition data sets or task-specific default data sets with defined operational characteristic variables. The unit also has sensors for continuous detection of the defined operational characteristic variables, an evaluation unit for comparing the operational characteristic variables that are determined with the operational characteristic variables of the selected default data set, a regulation device for regulating the vibration generator, and a control device for controlling the adjustment of the rotational position of the imbalance masses relative to one another. The vibration generator is part of a vibration pile driver.

Abstract: A vibration exciter, particularly for a vibration pile driver, has an exciter transmission having at least two imbalance masses, which are attached on one or on multiple shafts, and a pivot motor for adjusting the relative rotational position of the imbalance masses relative to one another. A pump for supplying the pivot motor is provided, which pump is operated by way of a shaft of the exciter transmission.

Abstract: A vibration generator has at least two groups of shafts, on which at least two groups of imbalances are disposed, and which are connected with at least one drive that rotates the shafts relative to one another, at different speeds of rotation, thereby achieving a directed advance. The operating direction of the vibration generator can be adjusted.

Abstract: Bearing arrangement for a shaft rotatable around an axis of rotation comprising a first bearing for rotatably mounting an end of the shaft for rotation thereof around the axis of rotation, and a second bearing for pivotably mounting the end of the shaft for pivoting movements out of the axis of rotation, and an arrangement comprising a shaft, as well as an oscillator, each comprising the bearing arrangement.

Abstract: A vibration exciter has at least two axles disposed parallel to one another, as well as at least two imbalance masses, which are attached to one or more of the axles. The relative rotary position of the imbalance masses can be adjusted relative to one another by a rotary oscillating motor having a rotor shaft and a stator housing. The rotor shaft is an integral part of one of the axles, and the rotary position of the stator housing relative to the rotor shaft can be changed. The stator housing can be locked to the rotor shaft. The oscillating motor has a rotor shaft and a stator housing, between which working chambers are formed. The stator housing can rotate about the rotor shaft and can be locked relative to the rotor shaft.
