Abstract

A vibration exciter machine has magneto striction elements (5,6) supported by a driven pile (2), for providing a vibration of up and down direction to the driven pile (2), and a drive circuit (D1) for controlling expansion and contraction movement of the magneto striction elements (5,6) by changing a supply time period of a current supplied to the magneto striction elements (5,6). By controlling of the drive circuit (D1) the supply time period of the current which flows in the magneto striction elements (5,6) is changed to control the expansion and contraction movement of the elements (5,7). Thereby a horizontal vibration component can be eliminated and only vertical vibration component can be transmitted to the driven pile material (2).
