Abstract: A method for vibratory treatment of workpieces involves repeatedly exiting a workpiece at its resonant frequencies of various harmonics by an unbalance vibration exciter connected to an electric motor. The race of one of the bearings of the motor armature is electrically insulated from the electric motor frame. The e.m.f. value of the bearing is measured continuously. Once the natural frequency of the workpiece being treated has been shifted as a result of the vibratory treatment performed, a change in the e.m.f. value is recorded and, after the natural frequency has been stabilized, the vibration exciter is retuned to the shifted value of the resonant frequency. The vibratory treatment is carried out on each harmonic until stabilization of the resonant frequency, at which time vibratory treatment on another harmonic is made. Multiply repeated vibratory excitation procedures on each of the harmonics are performed until a resonant frequency is reached, at which the e.m.f. value varies no longer.

Abstract: An unbalance vibrator comprises a drive shaft mounting unbalance weights, one of which is fixed stationary while the other one is turnable with respect to the drive shaft, and a mechanism for adjusting their mutual position made in the form of a rod spring-loaded in an axial direction and fitted in the movable unbalance weight so as to be movable radially, and adapted to interact with the other unbalance weight. The fixed unbalance weight is made in the form of a cylindrical sleeve having radial holes provided on its inside cylindrical surface. The movable unbalance weight is made in the form of at least a part of a cylinder arranged inside the cylinder, the rod being mounted so as to be engageable in one of the radial holes provided on the inside cylindrical surface of the sleeve.

Abstract: An unbalance vibrator including a drive shaft mounting unbalance weights, which are a clearance fit with respect to each other, and a mechanism for adjusting their mutual position. The adjusting mechanism is made in the form of two coaxially arranged cylinders carrying the unbalance weights and joined together by joining members provided on their engageable surfaces. One of the cylinders is rigidly mounted on the drive shaft, while the other cylinder is mounted so as to be turnable and axially traversable.
