Rear vibratory motor (5) is located on the right side of the rear drum. This motor has a straight axis and a fixed angle swashplate. The front vibratory motor is identical to the rear vibratory motor. The front vibratory motor is located on the left side of the front drum.
Rubber isolation mounts dampen the vibration that is transmitted from the drum to the machine when the vibratory system is operating.
Vibratory speed sensor (3) is located at rear vibratory motor (5) and at the front vibratory motor. The vibratory speed sensors provide the input signals to the machine ECM number " two". This information is sent to the machine ECM number" one". The machine ECM number one uses the input signals from these sensors in the vibratory control logic. This input is also used to operate the vibratory tachometer on the operator display.
Each port in the pump housing is identified by a letter or an alpha numeric designation that is cast into the housing next to the port. The function of each port is as follows:
- Port "A" (4) - This port is a system port. When oil is directed into port "A", the motor turns clockwise, as viewed from the output shaft end of the motor. Clockwise motor rotation produces divergent rotation of the eccentric weights. This rotation results in high amplitude operation.
- Port "B" (2) - This port is a system port. When oil is directed into port "B", the motor turns counterclockwise, as viewed from the output shaft end of the motor. Counterclockwise motor rotation produces convergent rotation of the eccentric weight. This rotation results in low amplitude operation.
- Port "L" (1) - This port is one of two case drain ports on the motor. The second case drain port is labeled as "L1" (not shown). Port "L" of the motor is connected to the return manifold. Port "L1" is connected to port "T1" of the machine valve. Flushing oil from the machine valve is directed into the vibratory motor case through port "L1".

The vibratory motor has a fixed position swashplate and an axial piston rotating group. The above illustration shows an example of this type of motor.
When the vibratory system is operating, supply oil from the vibratory pump enters the motor. Supply oil is directed to the inlet port of valve plate (9). The valve plate directs oil into the piston chamber in barrel assembly (10). This pressure forces pistons (7) that are aligned with the inlet port to move out of the barrel assembly.
As pistons (7) are forced out of barrel assembly (10), slipper pads (6) slide along the swashplate. This action causes the barrel assembly and pistons to rotate. Since the barrel assembly is splined to output shaft (8), the output shaft also rotates.
As barrel assembly (10) rotates, pistons align with the outlet port in valve plate (9). The rotation of the barrel assembly forces oil out of the piston chambers and into the low-pressure side of the hydrostatic loop. The low-pressure oil then returns to the inlet side of the hydraulic pump, that completes the hydrostatic circuit.
