Abstract
A vibrating device for vibrating liquid provided in vessels comprises a vibrating table (32) whereon the vessels are mountable. The vibrating table (32) is supported eccentrically on a flywheel (10). Due to the eccentric support of the vibrating table (32) on the flywheel (10), high centrifugal forces occur during the operation of the vibrating device, deteriorating the stability of the vibrating device. According to the invention, an adjustable counterbalance weight (76) is connected to the flywheel (10) for balancing the centrifugal forces occurring. For adjustment purposes, the counterbalance weight (76) can be shifted along a guiding device (78). The guiding device (78) comprises a guiding spindle (80) whereon a threaded adjusting nut (87) is provided. By rotating the adjusting nut (87) by means of an adjusting wrench (88), the counterbalance weight (76) can be shifted in the guiding device (78) radially to the flywheel (10).
