Syntron® Electromagnetic Bin Vibrators
from FMC Corporation offer an economical means of maintaining the flow of bulk
materials from bins, hoppers and chutes.
They come with an easily adjustable control which provides flexibility and assures
optimum flow for the type of material
being handled. Furthermore, Syntron
Electromagnetic Bin Vibrators can be
operated continuously or intermittently
depending upon the specific requirements.
To assure the highest standard of quality,
Syntron Electromagneic Bin Vibrators are
factory tested and adjusted for optimum
performance. Most models come standard
with totally enclosed, dust-tight and
2
water-proof construction. Since these
vibrators have no rotating or sliding parts,
they are virtually maintenance-free.
Syntron Electromagnetic Bin Vibrators
also come with the technical expertise of
FMC Corporation’s application staff, who
have been providing productive solutions
for a wide variety of material handling
problems for more than 60 years.

Syntron® Electromagnetic Vibrator Models
Models V-2 and V-4 Electromagnetic Bin Vibrators are two of the smallest
industrial vibrators available. These versatile vibrators can be controlled electrically with a separate control. When these vibrators are operated without a
control, they can be mechanically controlled by turning an easily accessible
adjusting screw. Flexibility and ease of installation are common to both
models and the Model V-4 is available with a dust-tight case.
V-2
V-4
V-9, V-20
Standard Syntron models V-2 and V-4 electromagnetic vibrators operate at
7200 vibrations per minute (vpm) on straight AC, but increased amplitude
can be obtained at 3600 vpm by using rectified AC power.
V-41
Models V-9 and V-20 are compact in size, but at 3600 vpm, they pack
enough vibratory “punch” to excel in a wide range of applications. Each is
available with a separate dust-tight case.
V-50, V-
Typical applications for the above models include installations on small bins,
handling lightweight materials, or in counting, sorting or packaging operations.
Impact and Cushioned Vibrator Compact Models
Models V-50, V-85 and V-180 are “solid” impact type vibrators. These units
use a metal striking block to produce positive impact.
Models V-41, V-51, V-86 and V-181 are “cushioned” impact type vibrators,
which utilize a rubber striking block to produce positive impact. Their high
power/low noise characteristics make them ideal for use in confined areas
with nearby workers. Physical dimensions and electrical specifications are
identical to the “solid” impact type vibrators. Dust-tight and waterproof
construction are standard for both versions.
V-85, V-
V-180, V-
Open Models
Models V-75 and V-500 feature a power-packed, solid impact, open-type
design. They are used on difficult, heavy-duty applications. The
V-500 is one of the largest magnetic vibrators available. Both the
V-75 and V-500 are available with a separate dust-tight case.
Self-Contained Models
V-75
Models V-9 through V-500 require separate controls unless specifically
ordered as self-contained units. Self-contained units include a built-in rectifier and they always operate at full force. Self-contained units are recommended only where no force adjustment is required. Models
V-41 and V-500 are not available as self-contained units.

Syntron® Electromagnetic Vibrator Selection
In vibrator selection, thickness of the bin or chute wall is the primary consideration.
Once the proper vibrator model has been selected from the Application Tabulation
Table, compare the capacity in the tapered portion of the bin with the rated capacity
shown in the table. If the rated capacity is exceeded, multiple vibrators may be
required, depending on the material being handled. Stiffeners used to reinforce the
bin or chute may also affect the selection or preferred location of the vibrator. Please
contact FMC for assistance with selection of appropriate units in these applications.
FMC offers a com-
plete line of Syntron®
electromagnetic,
electric rotary and
pneumatic bin
vibrators. For more

full line of Syntron
bin vibrators, call

V-500.) Control units are available for multiple vibrator
applications. Control enclosures can also be furnished to
meet special electrical standards. In addition to the standard controls listed below, FMC can provide control systems built to meet your requirements.
Syntron® Electromagnetic Bin Vibrators are normally furnished with controls. Control units include an operating
switch, fuse and adjustable control to vary vibration

can be furnished with self-contained rectifiers if force
adjustments are not required. (Unless a self-contained

Mounting Syntron® Electromagnetic Bin Vibrators
Correct location of electromagnetic vibrators is of prime importance in obtaining maximum efficiency from the
selected model. Note: Operate vibrators on hoppers only when the hopper is open to flow. Otherwise, vibration may
pack the hopper contents.
Select a bracket made from a channel section or a bent plate when
mounting a vibrator to a curved
surface. A center gusset is required
for all totally enclosed vibrators,
and two blocks of sufficient height to contact the
curved surface are required for Models V-75 and V500. The selected gusset or blocks must be securely
welded to the underside of the bracket and curved surface. This arrangement is required to stiffen the
mounting and transmit vibrations directly to the hopper contents. Mounting bolt heads can be welded to
the underside of the bracket.
Rectangular or Cylindrical bins
with Flat Bottom and Center
Discharge.
Mount directly to the side of the bin,
just below the point where the materials’
natural angle of repose intersects the side,
as shown in the sketch.

Mount vibrator and

mount the vibrator in the

higher elevation.

The second unit should be mounted about half-way
between the first vibrator and the upper end. Allow for the
vibrators to be moved about 1 ft (300 mm) in either direction.

Screw conveyors feed from the back of the hopper.
Vibrator should be 1/3 from the inlet. If two vibrators
are used, place second vibrator on opposite side, 1/3

the discharge end until the back of the bin is empty
and the vibrator at the inlet is shut off.
Mount vibrator on the belt discharge side of the hopper.
