need a small vibrator motor

[Scott Douglas]

Wow, I just happen to save the vibrator out of my dad's old lounge chair.
How's this look to you?

too big...thanks

Infant bouncy chairs? Used to soothe the little one to sleep. Often have different frequency settings (though they're fixed, not variable).

Occupational/Hand therapists also have hand-held vibrating massagers they use for desensitization and scar massage.

great idea. my 7yo has been using her old bouncy for her "kids" dolls. have it my hands now.

building a prototype, but will need to source for production.

can't believe I can't find a supplier in the us.

thanks again, this is along the lines I'm looking for.

Not to make this PARFy, but have you not noticed the decline in manufacturing in our country over the past 20-30 years?!

this motor is the size of a spool of sewing thread.
nice call Noah!

what a great resoursce this board is.

Contact Todd(9dreizig). He sells stuff along these lines....

The printing industry uses something called a jogger. The idea is that a lift of paper is vibrated into a corner. This is the first step before the lift (or stack) goes to the trimmer then to assembly.

They come in all sizes to jog paper from 8.5 x 11 to 30 x 40.

Maybe you can find a used one.

Like the size. I'm not smart enough to know how it works. What powers it? I assume it has to be connected to some audio, or is there a tiny vibrator motor inside?

I'm going to play with the bouncy seat motor today. Might add a variable controller to it so I can give customer ability to dial in the right feel.

Thanks.

Yes. It is.

[johnco]

if you decide to ramp up the power later... I got this yesterday.. said in Tim Allen's voice...more power! uhuhuh

[porsche4life]

We had a paint shaker like that.... make damn sure you clamp the cans tight, otherwise it will chuck them across the shop, and make everything within a large radius british racing green.....

[johnco]

I Have no reason to shake paint. I just like old junk

[johnco]

thought about this thread tonight after I took apart a couple old electric shavers to see how they work. I took apart a battery powered one and also a a/c powered one but the concept is the same. a cam on the shaft makes the head vibrate. not sure if this would work for your application but here's pictures of both.. I also have one of those cheap seat cushions with several vibrating motors I"ll have to take apart now... if I can find it

[oldE]

Or you could just hook up an old Harley motor: noise and shaking!

Sorry.

John,
for my prototype, that's basically what I have except I added a. 1.5" diameter disk to the shaft so I could place some more weight further out. I'm going to build my own vibrator with a stepper motor. client is happy with results so far.

I need to randomly vibrate a 12" X 16" .125" aluminum plate that is supported by 2" tall springs on 4 corners. a 1.5 lb device will be attached to this plate.

looking for something off the shelf, but Grainger and McMaster not working. Might have to head to the adult store....

thanks.

I assume the plate is horizontal and the 1.5lb device is vertical. Are you covering the aluminum plate with a pad and leather, or a plush purple velvet?

[johnco]

okay
