Description
The Kuhner direct drive ensures a consistent and reliable shaker performance and is the only drive on the market that allows the shaking diameter to be easily changed by the customer.
With the Direct drive, the speed of the motor is the same as the speed of the containers being shaken. There is no mechanical power transfer by friction wheels, no belt that can break down and no other mechanical wear and tear. The advantages are very low noise levels, minimal power consumption and heat transfer, as well as accurate and reliable speed display.
The stator of the direct drive consists of DC electro magnets and sensors and the rotor is equipped with permanent magnets. The electro magnets of the stator are directly switched by the controller depending on the position of the rotor. As there are no brushes in this system, sparking is not possible.
Quartz precision speed regulation is achieved by microprocessor control and the speed remains constant irrespective of load.
Speed accuracy: ± 0.1 U/min
Speed indication: ± 1.0 U/min, digital

The Single Eccentric System
The direct drive uses a single eccentric bearing fitted to the top of the drive so there is no possibility of internal stress between bearings. The shaking diameter can be changed at any time by altering the position of the eccentric bearing. Three shaking diameters 12.5, 25 and 50 mm are available as standard, with other settings possible on request.

The Parallelogram
The parallelogram ensures identical shaking movement anywhere on the tray, regardless of load distribution. The double steel springs will last a lifetime, unlike bearings and other moving parts.

Active brake
To speed up deceleration an active brake is applied to the drive system when the ‘stop’ key is pressed or the door is opened.

Stop at a defined position
When using a shaker together with a robotic system the platform must always stop at the same position. Kuhner shakers have 48 stopping points that can be individually adjusted. This system is based on a magnetic lock-in and requires no maintenance.

Calibration of speed
The calibration procedure is automatic and completed in minutes, requiring only a serial interface and a computer with “ISIS” software installed.
