®
Electric Vibrators (M Series) are designed and manufactured to
ensure the best performance and reliability in severe-duty applications. The
vibrator motor has a recommended operational ambient temperature and
mounting surface temperature range of -22 to 104°F (-30 to 40°C). If
operating the motor in environments beyond these temperatures, call Martin
Engineering, as the vibrator may require rating reduction, more frequent
lubrication, or lubrication substitution.
The vibrators in this manual may be referred to by their model numbers or

Adjusting
eccentric weights
for 20–105 frame
All Martin Electric Vibrators 20–105 frame have one set of
eccentric weights on each end of shaft.
The percentage increments on the weight or on the weight
adjustment disks are percentages of the total force pounds
listed on the nameplate. For example, if the nameplate shows
8340 lb, setting the weights to 50% would produce 4170
pounds of force.
For the most efficient operation, vibrator eccentric weights
should be adjusted to the lowest force setting required to move
the material. This will increase vibrator life and reduce energy
costs.
Before adjusting eccentric weights, turn off and lockout /
tagout / blockout / testout energy source to vibrator.
The fixed weight is keyed to the shaft. The adjustable weight
rotates around the shaft.
1. Turn off and lockout / tagout / blockout / testout energy source to vibrator
according to ANSI standards (see “References”).
2. Remove weight cover.

2. If vibrator makes unusual or excessive noise, make sure mounting bolts
are tight and mount welds are not damaged.
Vibrator may produce loud noise during operation when
mounted on structure. See OSHA 1910.95 for guidelines. If
required, wear ear protection to avoid impairment or loss of
hearing.
3. Check decibel level of vibrator noise during operation. See OSHA
1910.95 to determine whether noise exceeds safe limits. If required, wear
ear protection to avoid impairment or loss of hearing.
Do not allow motor current to exceed nameplate rating. If
vibrator is operated continuously with line current above
nameplate rating, vibrator can be damaged.
4. After a few hours of operation, check each line current. If reading is
higher than nameplate rating, reduce eccentric weight setting, stiffen
vibrator mount, or move vibrator to more rigid location. After making
adjustments, check line current again to ensure line current does not
exceed nameplate rating.

CAUTION
!
NOTE
Read entire section before beginning work. Allow vibrator to
cool to ambient temperature before working on it.
Maintenance
All vibrators are lubricated at the factory.
Use only prescribed grease in vibrator. If a different grease is
used, vibrator can be damaged and warranty will be void.
Use only prescribed amount of grease to lubricate vibrator.
Too much grease will cause bearings to overheat and result in
premature bearing failure.
Lubricating
vibrator
1. See Table V for lubrication schedule and amount of grease required for
your vibrator.
For 3600 rpm machines operating continuously or for long
periods of time, reduce lubrication time and amount as shown
in step 2. Failure to do so could run bearings dry and destroy
unit.
2. If motor housing temperatures exceed 194°F (90°C), cut lubrication time
and amount in half for every 18°F (10°C) increment that meets or exceeds
194°F (90°C). For example, if MM9-1440 motor housing temperature is
204°F (96°C), use 4.5 grams of grease per bearing every 1000 hours.
(Maximum bearing temperature allowed is 248°F [120°C].) For motor
housing temperatures above 212°F (100°C), consult Martin Engineering
or a representative.
Kluber grease may be purchased from Martin Engineering by
calling 800-544-2947.
3. For MM9, MM12, and MM18 model vibrators, lubricate frame size 35
and larger vibrators with Kluber Staburags NBU 8EP grease only.
