Abstract

A vibrator has two series of eccentric weights each comprising at least two weights turning in opposite directions and at least one motor coupled to the first series of weights by gearing and to the second series of weights by a transmission device including a phase-shifter in the form of two coaxial shafts each comprising helical teeth and an annular piston which slides between the two shafts, delimiting therewith at least one working chamber into which a pressurized hydraulic fluid can be injected. The piston has helical teeth meshing with those on the two shafts. The vibrator enables self-regulation of the amplitude of the vibrations that it produces according to the behavior of the object to which the vibrations are imparted.
