Abstract
A compactor including a plate, an electric motor coupled to the plate and including a motor shaft configured to rotate about a rotational axis, and an exciter coupled to the plate and configured to vibrate the plate in response to receiving torque from the electric motor. The exciter includes an exciter shaft and an eccentric mass attached thereto. The compactor additionally includes a battery configured to provide power to the electric motor, and a gear train to transfer torque from the motor shaft to the exciter shaft. The gear train permits the exciter to be driven at a rotational speed that is faster or slower than a rotational speed of the electric motor.
