The invention provides a system for creating a prescribed vibration profile on a mechanical device comprising a sensor for measuring an operating condition of the mechanical device, a circular force generator for creating a controllable rotating force vector comprising a controllable force magnitude, a controllable force phase and a controllable force frequency, a controller in electronic communication with said sensor and said circular force generator, the controller operably controlling the controllable rotating force vector, wherein the difference between the measured operating condition and a desired operating condition is minimized.

Mechanical devices and method of creating prescribed vibration

A pumping system is provided. The pumping system includes an output conduit, a first sensor, a second second sensor, a feedforward active controller, and a fluid flow normalizer (FFN). The output conduit is associated with an output of a positive displacement pump. The first sensor is configured to measure a fluid flow characteristic (FFC) within the output conduit. The second sensor is configured to measure a phase of the positive displacement pump. The feedforward active controller is configured to receive information related to the FFC, receive information related to the phase of the positive displacement pump, and determine an FFC variability value. The first fluid flow normalizer (FFN) is configured to at least one of add fluid to the output of the positive displacement pump and remove fluid from the output of the positive displacement pump in response to a signal from the feedforward active controller.

Fluid flow normalizer

An isolator () has an outer housing () comprising an outer housing bore (), an inner member () received coaxially within the outer housing (), a precompressed compression compliance component (CCC) () disposed between the outer housing () and the inner member (), the CCC () being configured to bias the inner member () in an axial direction, and a precompressed rebound compliance component (RCC) () disposed between the outer housing () and the inner member (), the RCC () being configured to bias the inner member () in an opposite axial direction.

Isolator

A method of controlling the vibration of a vibratory separator, the method including providing a vibratory separator having a frame and a plurality of force generators coupled to the frame and a control unit operatively connected to each of the plurality of force generators, and independently controlling each of the plurality of force generators. Independently controlling each of the plurality of force generators controls a motion profile of the vibratory separator.
