Invicta Vibrator Motor Repair

The bearings decide it, because they carry continuous out of balance loading rather than a steady radial load. Manufacturers quote it in running hours. With scheduled bearing changes and properly torqued mountings the motor itself lasts a very long time.

Sizing works from the weight of the equipment plus the material it carries, and the amplitude and frequency of movement the process needs. Tell us the trough or hopper dimensions, the material and the throughput and we will size it rather than leaving you to calculate it.

An out of balance vibrator motor, with eccentric weights on each end of the shaft, sized to the table mass and the compaction or settling you need. Pole speed matters as much as power, because it sets the frequency of the movement.

The duty itself is severe, so any additional factor shows up quickly: force set higher than the structure was designed for, loose or fatigued mountings, contamination, or greasing missed at the stated interval. Repeat bearing failures almost always point at one of those rather than the bearing.

Material arches across the outlet and stops flowing, which damp, fine or cohesive materials do readily. A correctly sized hopper vibrator breaks the arch and keeps flow steady, without operators having to hammer the side of the hopper.

A vibrating feeder uses controlled vibration to move bulk material along a trough at a steady, adjustable rate. It gives a consistent feed into a process where a plain chute would surge, block or flood the next stage.

For most industrial sizes, yes. Bearings, windings and housings can all be dealt with. Because Invicta vibrators are manufactured at our Grantham facility, parts are generally on the shelf here rather than on order.

At our Grantham facility, where Invicta vibrators are designed and manufactured, and which operates as an Invicta repair centre. Repairs are carried out by the people who build them, using genuine parts.

Force is adjusted by moving the eccentric weights at each end of the shaft. Both ends must be set identically or the unit runs rough and destroys its own bearings. If you tell us the application and material we can recommend a starting point.

Almost always something other than the motor. Excessive force setting, a cracked or flexing mounting, loose fixings, or a structure resonating at the running frequency. We look at the failure pattern rather than simply fitting another set of bearings.

Yes. Both workshops repair vibrator motors from other makers as well as Invicta, covering bearing replacement, rewinds and housing repair.

Electric units give consistent, controllable force and suit continuous duty. Pneumatic units need no electrical supply, which makes them useful in wet or hazardous areas, and they are often chosen for intermittent hopper duty.
