Pneumatic Linear Vibrators Australia
If you are searching for reliable pneumatic linear vibrators in Australia, Vibration Systems supplies high performance air piston vibrators designed to improve bulk material flow, reduce blockages, and increase process efficiency. Our pneumatic piston vibrators are used across mining, quarrying, food processing, manufacturing, packaging, and construction to move damp, sticky, or difficult materials from hoppers, chutes, and conveyors. With impacting and non impacting vibrators available, adjustable frequency and force, and over 40 years of Australian industry experience, we help businesses select the right linear vibrator for consistent, controlled results nationwide.
Vibration Systems is trusted by engineers and operators who need durable pneumatic linear vibrators built for Australian operating conditions.
What are Pneumatic Piston Vibrators?
Pneumatic linear vibrators, also known as pneumatic piston vibrators or air piston vibrators, operate using an oscillating piston inside a cylinder. The piston reverses direction automatically without valves, making the unit fully self contained and highly reliable. Frequency and force are controlled by adjusting the inlet air pressure, while amplitude can be adjusted independently on many models by throttling the exhaust airflow.
Depending on the model, bodies are manufactured from aluminium, steel, or stainless steel, making these linear vibrators suitable for aggressive wash down environments and heavy duty industrial use.
Impacting & Non-Impacting Vibrators
Choosing between impacting vibrators and non impacting vibrators depends on the material type, noise requirements, and force needed.
Non impacting vibrators use a self generated air cushion at each end of the piston stroke. This eliminates metal to metal contact, significantly reducing noise levels and stress on hopper walls and equipment. These units are specifically engineered to operate as non impacting models, rather than modified impact designs.
Impacting vibrators operate by allowing the piston to strike a metal impact plate, producing a strong mechanical impulse. Some models include elastomer inserts to reduce noise while maintaining effective force output.
Non Impacting Pneumatic Linear Vibrators
- Linear vibration
- Instantaneous stop when air supplied is turned off, no ‘run-down’
- Smaller models hard coated aluminium bodies, with integral start spring.
- Larger models have steel bodies with air start facility.
- Nominal frequency from 827 min -1 to 9,040 min-1
- Centrifugal force 40N to 21 808 N
- Frequency and amplitude are adjustable separately
- Synchronous operation possible (NTS 350 and higher)
- Linear vibration
- Instantaneous stop when air supplied is turned off, no ‘run-down’
- Most models available with either aluminium or steel bodies
- Centrifugal force from 15N to 1505N in standard installation
- Piston extends from the body when in operation allowing the addition of weights to give extra force output.
- Frequency and amplitude are adjustable separately
Applications for Non Impacting Vibrators
Non impacting linear vibrators are widely used for conveying, compacting, and loosening bulk materials. They are particularly effective for assisting damp materials or larger product sizes to flow from hoppers and chutes. These pneumatic linear vibrators are also commonly used as drives for vibrating tables, feeders, and conveyors across Australian industries.
Impacting Pneumatic Piston Vibrators
NTP continuous impacting
- Aluminium body
- Elastomer impact insert as standard
- Available with steel impact plate, or air cushion
- Nominal frequency 1328 min-1 to 8784 min-1
- Force output 190N to 2029N
- Available in stainless steel
PKL Single Impact
This model utilises air pressure to hold a piston against a spring in the cylinder. On release of the pressure, the spring ‘fires’ the piston against the impact plate.
- Aluminium or steel body depending upon model
- Larger models have steel or optional stainless steel body
- Operation by manual control, PLC or integrated auto firing system
- Elastomer insert available to reduce impact noise.
Applications for Impacting Vibrators
Impacting vibrators are highly effective for moving damp, sticky, or compacted materials from hoppers and down chutes. PKL models were specifically developed to remove material build up or skins from hopper walls, such as those found in spray dryer applications. Their controlled impact action makes them ideal for intermittent or automated cleaning processes.
