Abstract
The invention is directed to an apparatus for resetting the vibration amplitude of a hydraulically driven vibration device having two eccentric weights arranged on a rotating shaft and rotatable relative to each other. The amplitude-resetting arrangement includes a hydraulic directional valve for resetting the vibration device between high and low amplitudes. The valve is electrically operated and the electric control circuit incorporates a time-delay relay for delaying the amplitude change until the speed of the rotating shaft has been reduced to an acceptable level.
