ABSTRACT:
A vibratory plate machine has an improved baseplate, console, clutch, and/or cage assembly. The baseplate has a semi-spherical bottom surface and barrel-shaped side surfaces to improve stability and maneuverability. The baseplate also has ribs on its upper surface configured to maximize stiffening ability and to channel debris off from the baseplate. The console is formed from a single cast metal element to reduce weight and to reduce assembly complexity and to permit shockmounts to be connected to the extreme corner portions of the console. The clutch is configured to distribute as much weight as practical to its outer diameter so that it functions as a flywheel to reduce jerking effects on the driven belt to reduce belt wear and increase belt life. The cage assembly is configured to maximize protection of sensitive components of the machine from external shocks and to facilitate machine lifting.
