The airline to the vibrator should have the same or larger hose inner diameter (ID) as the inlet ID (pipe
size) of the vibrator, so that pressure loss from the compressor to the vibrator is minimized. NOTE: Do
not connect rigid piping to the vibrator.
Model TB vibrators are equipped with a built-in muffler. Model TAM and TBM vibrators should be used
in conjunction with a muffler to reduce exhaust hiss and prevent entry of foreign matter to the vibrator.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Stored energy may be present. Lock out power during maintenance.
Before operating the unit, guards (if applicable) must be in place.
Syntron Pneumatic Turbine Vibrators require little maintenance. They require no lubrication in the
airline. It is recommended that an air cleaner be installed in the line to avoid rust and dirt going through
the unit and clogging the muffler. The muffler can be removed and cleaned or replaced, if required.
Periodically check the mounting hardware to ensure that it is tight. Also make sure that the maximum
operating temperature 180°F (82°C) and the maximum air pressure 60 or 80 psi (4.2 or 5.6 kgf/cm
2
) are
not exceeded. Refer to pages 14, 16, and 18.
WARNING: Do not exceed the maximum air pressure of 80 psi (5.6 kgf/cm
2
). Air
pressure over 80 psi (5.6 kgf/cm
2
) may shorten the life of the vibrator or cause
structural damage.
New vibrators may be slow to start for one or more of the following reasons:
•
The bearings are packed with grease; excess grease will be thrown out of the bearing after
operating for a short time.
•
Low temperature may cause the grease to be stiff.
•
Bearing seals are normally stiff when new or cold.
These resolve themselves after the vibrator has run for several minutes.
