What kind of oil to fill in the vibrating plate and how to replace it? The vibrating mechanism and the motor are 2 mechanisms in the vibrating plate that need constant monitoring of the presence of oil and grease. Before starting to work with the vibrating plate, it is necessary to fill the engine and vibrator of the vibrating plate with oil.
How often do you need to change the oil in the vibrating plate?
If the engine does not have oil filters, then you need to constantly change the oil, since contamination appears during operation. The oil should be changed after the first twenty working hours, and then every time after 100 hours. Also, if the vibrating plate has not been used for a very long time, it is worth changing the oil.
What kind of oil to fill in the vibrating plate and how to replace it?
The vibrating mechanism and the motor are 2 mechanisms in the vibrating plate that need constant monitoring of the presence of oil and grease. Before starting to work with the vibrating plate, it is necessary to fill the engine and vibrator of the vibrating plate with oil.
If we talk about the vibration mechanism, then the oil is filled at the manufacturer’s plant. Each plant uses different types of oil, so there is no specific oil change date. Therefore, when changing the oil yourself, you must use the manual for the vibratory plate.
What kind of oil should be added to the vibratory plate engine?
Before starting work with the vibrating plate, you need to pour oil into its engine. Remember to check the oil level before starting the vibratory plate. Otherwise, your equipment will fail.
For engines running on gasoline brands Honda gx390, gx270, gx200, gx160, mineral motor oil with viscosity sae10w40 or sae10w30 is suitable.
There are also oils of other viscosities, but they may not be suitable due to the peculiarities of vibration technology, which can also lead to engine breakdown. It is best not to carry out any experiments, but to use the oil that is recommended according to the instructions for using the vibrating plate.
General characteristics of vibrators
Additional indicators when choosing units include:
- Working surface area.
- Vibration Effort.
- Engine power and type of fuel consumed.
Working surface area This characteristic determines the pressure of your slab on one unit of the surface of the treated soil. At a surface with a small area, this value will be less. The the parameter should not exceed 0.3. The highest performance is shown by models with a cast iron base, for bases made of other materials this figure is less.
Vibration force is a measure of the vibration power of the base mechanism. For dense coatings and soils, this characteristic should be as high as possible. Since with weak shocks, hard soil will not be compacted to the required density.
By the type of fuel used, engines are gasoline, electric and diesel. Vibratory plate using a gasoline engine among specialists it is the most demanded and convenient. The unit with a gasoline engine has a lower price when compared to a diesel unit, and it works in all weather and industrial conditions.
The electrically driven plate compactor has a lower cost than diesel or gasoline, while its performance and power are at the same level. The disadvantage is that access to the electrical grid is not available everywhere.
The diesel-driven unit is the most expensive, but the fuel for it is cheaper compared to the gasoline unit. The disadvantage of this type of drive is the high noise level.
The drive power determines the ability of the vibrating plate to move on a slope and on a viscous surface. The higher this characteristic, the easier the unit moves over the surface. The powerful engine moves forward by itself and does not require additional efforts from the employee. At a low power rating the slab will bury itself in the ground, especially when working on a slope. An exception are models from the first type by weight, in which the weight of the plate and the engine power correspond to each other.
Characteristics of vibrating plates based on their weight
The mass of the plate is the most important indicator when choosing the required model or when buying parts for assembling a vibrating plate at home. Weight determines 70 percent of unit productivity and its compliance with the work you need. Models are divided into four types by weight:
- Lightweight with a mass of up to 70 kilograms;
- Universal with a mass of 71 to 90 kilograms;
- Medium-heavy, weighing from 91 to 140 kilograms;
- Heavy with a mass of 141 kilograms.
The light type is optimal for work on the improvement of the local area, the maximum soil depth should not exceed 15 centimeters. Also this type used for work related to laying paving slabs, laying on the tracks damping mats made of polyurethane.
The middle type is used during the partial repair of the roadway using asphalt, laying tiles on the sidewalk. The maximum depth of the soil in this case should not exceed 25 centimeters.
The medium and heavy type does an excellent job with more serious work, for example, laying the road surface in several layers. Using units of this type compacting trenches after backfilling and the perimeter of the foundation of a small house. The maximum soil layer for this type is 60 centimeters. Weight limit when paving asphalt is 100 kilograms.
When choosing the optimal mass of the vibrator, you need to pay attention to the engine power. A weak motor mounted on a massive slab can frustrate you during your work plan. Such an aggregate will sink into the soil layer and will require the use of extra effort from the person doing the work. This discrepancy will be especially critical for models of 3 and 4 types.
When buying or manufacturing a vibrating plate, it is necessary to calculate this ratio. An example of an irrational ratio is a plate weighing 140 175 kilograms and a 6 hp engine installed on it. An example of the correct ratio per 100 kilograms of 5 hp. Engine.
Making a vibrating plate with your own hands
The process of making a vibrating plate with your own hands and self-design is quite simple, since the mechanism is not complicated by its design.
The vibrating plate consists of the following elements:
- The motor is selected at your discretion, for example, you can use the platform unit IV-98E, which operates on a 220 volt network, or a single-cylinder gasoline unit. Preferred from Honda;
- Base plate sheet metal, 45 by 80 in size and 8 millimeters thick;
- Channel two pieces;
- Elastic soft cushions, which are needed to attach the handle to the vibrating plate 2 pieces;
- Bolts of the M12 brand for fastening a gasoline or M10 for an electric motor;
- Plastic wheels to facilitate the construction 2 pieces;
- Trumpet;
- A hollow pipe with a length of about 1.2 meters.
Having purchased the necessary materials, proceed to the assembly, while you will not need a drawing.
- Remove the cover on the motor to adjust the vibration force.
- Cut an angle grinder into a sheet of metal. From the edge of the sheet 100 mm, about 5 mm deep. Make two symmetrical cuts on both sides.
- Bend the edges along the notches with a hammer, the bend angle is approximately 25 degrees. This is necessary so that the unit is not buried during operation.
- The places of the cuts made must be welded and the position of the ends must be fixed.
- A hand-made vibrator is attached to the plate using two channels. They must be adjusted so that the edges do not extend beyond the edge of the work surface. The channels are carefully welded.
- Bolts of the M12 or M10 brand attach the vibrator itself to the metal. It is necessary to measure the distance between the holes of the motor mounting, drill holes in the channels at the same distance, fix the engine to the base by hand using prepared bolts.
- A pipe and elastic cushions are necessary for damping vibration and making the handle of the unit itself.
What oil to use for vibrating plates
The vibratory plate has two mechanisms that require regular lubrication and oil control. It is a motor and vibration mechanism. Before starting work vibrating plates oil must be poured into the vibrator of the vibrating plate and into the engine.
As for the vibration mechanism vibrating plates, then the oil is usually filled at the factory. Since different factories use different types of oil for vibrating mechanisms, and, accordingly, there is no general oil change time for vibrators on vibrating plates, then when changing the oil, use the recommendations of the operating manual for your vibrating plate. It is best to use the services of your service center.
Oil in vibratory plate motor before use, it is filled in by the user. Be sure to check the oil level before starting every start, otherwise your engine may be damaged. For gasoline engines HONDA GX160, GX200, GX270, GX390 use MINERAL OIL FOR PETROL ENGINES (viscosity SAE 10W30 or SAE 10W40). Oil of other viscosities due to the design features of the engine of the vibrating plates may not reach the parts rubbing with each other, which will lead to rapid engine wear. Synthetic and semi-synthetic oils also have viscosities that differ from the recommended ones, therefore, for the durability of the engine, it is worth abandoning unnecessary experiments.
This type of four-stroke petrol engines on vibrating plates does not have special oil filters. Therefore, regular oil changes to remove contaminants that inevitably appear during operation are the key to successful and durable engine operation. The first oil change at the start of the vibratory plate operation is performed after 20 working hours. Then the oil is changed every 100 hours of operation or at the beginning of the working season, depending on the intensity of operation vibrating plates.
Vibratory plates petrol
The vibrating plate is one of the types of specialized equipment for road construction works designed for laying paving slabs, compaction of soil, various types of loose and cohesive surfaces: crushed stone, gravel, sand, asphalt. The most convenient machine for small volumes of this type of work. The vibrating plate allows compaction of the soil or road surface in places where the roller cannot be used, on limited areas: paths, trenches. Vibratory plates are often used as a necessary adjunct to other, usually larger, road construction equipment.
Vibratory plates, being a convenient and economical technique, are widely used today in various sectors of the economy: landscape design, road construction and repair, various fields of construction. Such machines can significantly reduce the amount of manual labor and significantly intensify the production of work.
All models are compact and suitable for multiple transport.
Vibratory plates, unlike vibratory rammers, have many times greater impact force.

How much oil is in the vibrator of the vibrating plate
Each vibrating plate has two internal mechanisms at the same time, which require periodic monitoring of the oil level. It is a vibration mechanism and a motor. Before starting work, make sure that there is sufficient lubrication in these two systems. If necessary, add working fluid, however, it is important not to overdo it. If you take vibrating plate for rent, You can be sure of the oil level as the rental technician constantly monitors the lubricant level.
If you are concerned about this issue as the owner of a vibratory plate, you should know that oil is poured into the vibration system in sufficient quantities at the factory. Each manufacturer uses its own oils, so you can only navigate the timing of replacing this fluid according to the attached instructions. It is preferable to carry out such an operation with the participation of specialists of the service center.
Taking vibrating plate for rent, do not try to replace any fluids yourself, these parameters are controlled by the professionals of the rental company. You just have to replenish the fuel level. The need to add oil to the engine can be discussed immediately when booking equipment rental.
Although Honda GX160 GX390 engines run on gasoline, only petrol-free mineral lubricants with a viscosity of SAE 10W30-40 are suitable. Other viscosity indicators, additives, etc. All this can lead to serious damage to your own or rental vibratory plate.
The thing is that this type of motor is not equipped with oil filters. This fact makes the periodic change of oil, gradually mixing with dirt, one of the most important rules for the long-term successful operation of the engine. In a new unit, the lubricant is changed after the first 20 hours of operation, and then every 100.
