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 the following components: a memory unit for storing ground composition data sets or task-specific default data sets with defined operational characteristic variables; 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 means for adjusting the rotational position of the imbalance masses relative to one another. The vibration generator is part of a vibration pile driver.

Abstract: A vibration generator for a vibration pile driver, comprises imbalance masses that can rotate, which are disposed on shafts. A hydraulic drive having a changeable suction volume is disposed on the generator. A vibration pile driver consists of the vibration generator and a mast for movably supporting the vibration generator and/or an accommodation for a pile-driven material.

Abstract: A vibration generator has rotatable imbalance masses disposed on at least two shafts, in which means for adjusting the rotational position of the imbalance masses relative to one another are disposed. There is at least one sensor for determining the angular acceleration of the rotating imbalance masses. The sensors may also determine acceleration of the vibration generator. There is a module for determining the angular acceleration of the rotating imbalance masses on the basis of the measurement values determined by the sensors. A vibration pile driver for introducing elements to be pile-driven into the ground, and drawing them from the ground, as well as for compacting ground material, contains one of the aforementioned vibration generators.

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.

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. An oscillating motor suitable for use in a vibration exciter, comprises 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.
