Synchronized operation of 2 or more vibrators is possible when using a
coupling set. Vibrators from NTS 50/10 upwards already have the
necessary bore in the cover or it can be added by simply changing the
cover.
Synchronized operation: For operation
of two vibrators the air supply line must
be connected to both vibrators via a Y-
shape distributor. Here it is absolutely
necessary that the lengths and cross-
sections between Y-shaped distributor
and vibrators are absolutely identical.
Connection of both air chambers 1 on
one piston rod side is accomplished by a
coupling kit, which enables synchronized
operation of the piston vibrators. In order
to ensure synchronized operation, the
hose connection (incl. elbows and
grommets) must have a predetermined
nominal width and hose length.
Please be aware that the use of longer
hoses causes a higher air consumption
and that this may adversely affect
synchronized operation. The
synchronization line should therefore be
designed as short as possible (A = 0.2 to
2 m, depending on vibrator type).
During synchronized operation the
connecting hose becomes extremely hot,
this requires the use of an appropriate
high temperature hose.

Install the unit. Lock the fastening screws crosswise.
Consider the expected operating temperature.
Install service unit (filter, if necessary regulator), valve, supply line.
Have fastening screws been locked? Check!
Has information on hose length and nominal width been observed?
