Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2105214A1] The vibrator has shaft groups (1, 2) on which unbalanced mass groups (111, 121, 211, 221) are arranged. The unbalanced mass groups connected with a drive such that the mass groups are rotationally displaced to each other with different speed for obtaining directed feed. An oscillating motor e.g. rotor oscillating motor, adjusts an effective direction of the vibrator, and changes phase displacement of the mass groups to each other. The mass groups are connected with the oscillating motor by gear wheels (112, 122, 212, 222).
