  • Patent number: 8070352
    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.

  • Publication number: 20110168421
    Abstract: A telescoping leader for a construction vehicle for accommodating a vibrator, pile driver, earth drilling gear mechanism, or the like, has an outer leader that is disposed so that it can be longitudinally displaced relative to an inner leader. The inner leader and outer leader have closed material cross-sections, and the outer leader surrounds the inner leader. At the end of the outer leader that can be displaced on the inner leader, and at the end of the inner leader that is guided in the outer leader, a guide is firmly disposed, on which the outer leader can be displaced.

  • Patent number: 7870910
    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.
