Introduction

The vibrating drum is the core part of the vibration roller, it is not

only the working equipment, also the traveling device of the roller.

The vibrating drum is used for generating the vibration force and

compacting subgrade of road or foundation of the construction

project.
Working principle
 Vibratory drum function: centrifugal force and front drum load
generated dynamic linear and static linear pressure to compacting job
object.

 Vibration exciter is working device of vibrating drum. Structure is

eccentric block or shaft. Vibration exciter installed in the drum. When
the vibratory roller is in operation, the centrifugal force generated by
the eccentric block or shaft of the vibrating drum rotates at a certain
frequency to drive the drum body to vibration and transmitted to the
ground
 Parameter of vibrating drum
1. Mass On Vibrating Drum (kg): Including front frame plus drum mass.

2. Mass of vibration (kg) : Including mass of drum, vibrating exciter, hydraulic motor,
connect plate etc.

3. Front Drum Static Linear Load (N/cm): weight of the drum on linear transmitted to the
ground.

4. Nominal Amplitude (mm): design amplitude, the vertical distance of drum travel,
caused by the motion of the eccentric weight inside the drum.

Notice: working amplitude more than nominal amplitude when roller at working.

5. Vibration Frequency (Hz): Frequency is the number of drum impacts (number of

rotations of the eccentric mass) per second or hertz (Hz).

6. Centrifugal Force (KN): force of rotations of the eccentric mass.

 The number of complete cycles (speed) of the rotating device (eccentric
weight) measured in vibrations per second(Hz).
 Affects Impact Spacing = Number of impacts per meter

Vibratory bearing

 Overall reinforcement design.

 Increase the diameter, length and number of
rollers.
 increase the rated static load and dynamic
load.
 Improve bearing capacity.
 Use bronze cage.
 Low friction coefficient, high strength, good
rigidity.
 It is especially suitable for the use of high
vibration frequency and alternating stress.
Structure of Vibrating Drum
Middle Shaft
 The left and right vibration housing
are separated and connected by
the middle shaft and transfer
power. The middle shaft is
equipped with coupling, which is
used to adjust the coaxial deviation
between the left and right vibration
housing. In addition, the fan of the
middle shaft can accelerate the
circulation of air in the drum cavity,
so as to achieve the effect of heat
dissipation.
