GENERATING OR TRANSMITTING MECHANICAL VIBRATIONS IN GENERAL

Description

B06B covers devices and methods for generating, producing, or transmitting mechanical vibrations without restriction to specific applications. This subclass encompasses vibration sources such as electromechanical vibrators, mechanical oscillators, impact devices, and vibratory actuators used across industrial, medical, and consumer applications. Included are reciprocating mechanisms, rotating unbalanced masses, piezoelectric vibrators, and electromagnetic vibration generators that produce oscillatory motion in solids, liquids, or gases. The classification excludes vibrations integral to machines designed for specific purposes (covered in their respective technology classes) and focuses on vibration generation as a primary function or component technology.
