Concrete Vibrator

July 1, 2011

Construction sites are no place for delicate equipment, and that goes for concrete vibrators as well. Groschopp designed a rugged universal parts set motor with a steel core commutator and custom knurled shaft to perform in the tough environment. The motor had to be able to perform in harsh weather conditions as well as be able to withstand the stress of the tool itself.

The universal motor was designed to work under constant high torque and extreme vibrations. The steel core commutator was used to prevent motor failure due to high amp-draw. Groschopp even did a one meter drop test to prove the design’s ability to hold up to the rough handling of tools on the job site.


Challenges

  • Constant high torque
  • Extreme vibration
  • Withstand a variety of weather conditions: heat, cold, rain, etc.
  • Equipment is handled roughly on the job site

Solution

  • Custom engineered universal parts set motor
  • Steel core commutator to prevent premature motor failure
  • Knurled shaft
  • Drop test to prove durability of the design

How to use the Motor Search Tool

Narrow your search by selecting motor type, gearbox, voltage, and phase options for your desired motor.

Select a dominant variable: choose one of the three parameters to narrow your search. The selected variable determines which slider bar you will be able to manually move.

Use the slider corresponding to your dominant variable to further narrow your motor selection. The other sliders will automatically move to show available ranges based on the range of your selected variable.

Results will upload as your search criteria changes. If you have any questions regarding your results or how to use the search tool, you can chat with us using the green tab on the left-hand side of your screen.


Note: Groschopp Universal motors are custom built to fit your application so no additional options are available to narrow the search. Selecting the Universal motor type will prompt a message taking you to the Universal product page.
