SUMMARY
Natural frequency conveyors operate efficiently by compensating only for the amplitude lost in elastic supports, distinguishing them from resonant frequency systems that can lead to dangerous high amplitude oscillations. The discussion clarifies that while natural frequency is synonymous with resonant frequency, the key difference lies in the operational limits imposed on amplitude. Proper analysis techniques are essential in designing vibrating feeders to avoid the pitfalls associated with resonant frequency operation.
