  • Patent number: 11025125
    Abstract: A concrete vibrator motor includes a motor assembly that provides actuation and a cage assembly that surrounds the motor assembly to shield it and provide one or more operator handles. The motor assembly includes a motor housing, a motor pod, and a plurality of brushes that are used to secure the motor pod within the motor housing. The cage assembly includes a pair of endcaps and handles arranged beneath the endcaps. The endcaps are configured to inhibit fluid ingression into the motor housing while permitting air circulation between the ambient environment outside of the motor housing and within the motor housing. Thus, the motor assembly may intake air into the motor housing and exhaust air therefrom without contamination from the ambient environment.

  • Publication number: 20210091626
    Abstract: A concrete vibrator system includes a concrete vibrator having a motor, a vibratory head that is actuated by the motor, and a controller that controls the motor. The concrete vibrator system may also include one or more remote devices or servers that wirelessly communicate with the controller of the concrete vibrator. The remote device may monitor the speed output by the motor and the voltage supplied to the motor to achieve a set speed via the controller, and display information representative of the motor speed and motor voltage to the user. Moreover, the speed output by the motor may be controlled using voltage supplied to the motor.
