Summary:A mathematical model of two-mass vibratory conveying system with electromagnetic vibratory actuator (EVA) and possible ways of their optimal control by using power converter is presented in this paper. Vibratory conveyors are commonly used in industry to carry a wide variety of particulate and granular materials. Application of electromagnetic vibratory drive combined with power converters provides flexibility during work. The use of a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) implies a phase angle control, which is very easy, but with many disadvantages (fixed frequency which is imposed by ac mains supply, poor power factor, mechanical retuning, etc.). Switching converters overcomes these disadvantages. Only then, driving for EVA does not depend on mains frequency. As well as amplitude and duration of excitation force tuning, it is also possible to tune its frequency. Consequently, complicated mechanical tuning is eliminated and seeking resonant frequency is provided. Previously mentioned facts motivated phase angle control and switch mode control behavior research for electromagnetic vibratory drives. Simulation and experimental results and their comparisons are exposed in this paper. The simulation model and results are given in the program package PSPICE. Experimental results are recorded on implemented control systems for SCR and transistor power converters. Partial results concerning the resonant frequency seeking process with transistor converter are also exposed
