GENERATING OR TRANSMITTING MECHANICAL VIBRATIONS IN GENERAL

Description

Class B06 encompasses devices and methods for generating, transmitting, and controlling mechanical vibrations across a broad spectrum of industrial and scientific applications. This includes vibrating motors, oscillators, shakers, and vibratory feeders used in material handling, compaction, and processing operations. The classification covers both the fundamental mechanisms for producing vibrations (such as electromagnetic or mechanical exciters) and systems designed to transmit those vibrations to workpieces or bulk materials for specific technical purposes, excluding applications where vibrations are merely an incidental byproduct of another primary process.

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 1 subcodes exist in both systems.

1 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.
