THE DIFFERENT USES OF VIBRATOR MOTORS

Vibrator Motors are motors that produce vibration via an unbalanced mass on its drive shaft. The motors come in different shapes and sizes and can be used for a lot of different things. It can be as small as a dime and as big as a grown man. Uses for vibrator motors range from telecommunications, industrial, robotics and even personal use. Let us explore some of the ways where vibrator motors are being used.

During the early age of electronics vibrators were used to provide an alternating current (AC) power supply from a direct current (DC) source in an inverted circuit. This kind of circuit was commonly found in car radios which were powered by vacuum tubes to produce sound.

Industries use vibrator motors in many different ways. Industrial-sized vibrating machines can get very large depending on what needs to be shaken. For example a feed hopper’s vibrating motors can shake approximately 50 kilograms of inertial mass. Vibrator motors are also common on construction sites. These vibrating machines are used to consolidate freshly poured cement so that all the trapped air and water escape allowing the concrete mixture to settle in properly. A similar type of device is also used to separate aggregate materials at construction sites. Sorting gravel from sand can be a chore, but with a sorter that uses a vibrator motor, this work can be accomplished in no time. On a smaller scale, tattoo artists use tattoo guns with vibrating needles that pierce skin allowing ink to permanently settle in. Engravers also use a similar tool to permanently etch designs and lettering on metal, glass and other materials. Other uses include propulsion for robots and motors for anti-lock braking systems.

A vibrator motor has a more personal use too. Who hasn’t enjoyed a massage from a personal electronic massager - those battery-powered massagers that differ in shape and size and can be small enough to keep in your drawer or purse? These handheld gadgets are great for sore backs, tired feet and tense shoulders. It’s a good way to relax and de-stress even while at work. Big massagers like massage chairs and vibrating beds utilize bigger vibrator motors but are equally relaxing.

Believe it or not furniture manufacturers and even electronics use vibrator motors to test the durability of their products. This would usually involve strapping a vibrating motor onto a chair or monitor while leaving it on for a considerable period of time. This ingenious way of testing for performance can give manufacturers a good idea of how to improve design and durability.

The use of vibrator motors extend in many ways including pharmacy, medicine and other high-tech industries. It might be easy to take such a plain machine for granted. Yet, without these motors the simple conveniences we enjoy today might not be possible at all.
