The Working Range of Vibrational Conveyers with Nonideal Vibration Exciter: Superharmonic and Subharmonic Resonance

Abstract

Vibrational conveyers with a centrifugal vibration exciter transmit their load based on the jumping method. Common unbalanced-mass driver oscillates the trough. The motion is strictly related to the vibrational parameters. The transition over resonance of a vibratory system, excited by rotating unbalances, is important in terms of the maximum vibrational amplitude produced and the power demand on the drive for the cross-over. The mechanical system is driven by the DC motor. In this study, the working ranges of oscillating shaking conveyers with nonideal vibration exciter have been analyzed analytically for superharmonic and subharmonic resonances by the Method of Multiple Scales, and numerically. The analytical results obtained in this study agree well with the numerical results.
