The NAVCO BH 3 is a Pneumatic Piston Vibrator designed to provide reliable and effective performance, even when 
exposed to sever adverse elements. The size and operating characteristics of the BH 3 make it ideally suitable for solving 
medium duty bulk material flow problems. 

Operation and Construction 

The model BH 3 vibrator incorporates a nominal 3” piston and bore. During operation, compressed air is alternately 
directed from one end of the piston to the other through a series of internal ports. The piston is the only moving part, which 
makes the pneumatic piston vibrator a reliable, low maintenance device. 

The vibrator housing is a one piece, ductile iron 

casting. This adds to the durability and reliability of NAVCO Pneumatic Piston Vibrators. 

The action of the piston in a pneumatic piston vibrator generates high amplitude vibration with unidirectional or linear force 
vectors. High amplitude characteristics enable the vibrating energy to be transmitted in the capacity required to overcome 
the strength of the bulk material involved in a bridge (arch) or a rathole (pipe). Other advantages of high amplitude, linear 
vibrators include low utility consumption and minimum bin wall stress. 

Linear Vibration offers the following advantages: 

¾

The work or energy generated by the vibrator can be directed normal or perpendicular to the flow of bulk material to 
address a specific material flow problem. The vibrator work is used very efficiently to reduce the sliding friction angle of 
the hopper and to overcome the strength of the bulk material in the hopper. These two factors are the key to promoting 
the flow of bulk solid materials. 

¾

Vibrators that generate linear vibration do not develop high shearing forces at the bin wall. This allows a simple, more 
direct approach to mounting these vibrators. 

¾

Linear vibration is ideal for driving vibratory feeders and compaction tables.
