These models can be configured for steel pipe piles and sheet piles using suitable OMS hydraulic clamps and compatible OMS hydraulic power packs.

How Does the OMS SVR NF Series Work?

A crane-suspended vibro hammer generates vertical oscillation through rotating eccentric masses inside the vibration housing. The resulting centrifugal force is transferred from the vibro hammer to the pile through the hydraulic clamp.

This vibratory action reduces the resistance between the pile surface and the surrounding soil. During driving, the crane applies the required vertical positioning while the vibro hammer helps the pile penetrate the ground

During extraction, vibration works together with the pulling capacity of the hammer and crane to reduce soil resistance around the embedded pile.

The effectiveness of this process depends on several connected parameters:

  • Soil density and stratification
  • Pile profile, diameter and length
  • Total pile weight
  • Required driving or extraction depth
  • Eccentric moment and centrifugal force
  • Operating frequency and amplitude
  • Available hydraulic flow and power
  • Clamp type and clamping force
  • Crane lifting and pulling capacity

For this reason, model selection should never depend on centrifugal force alone. The vibro hammer, power pack, clamp, crane and pile must be evaluated as one operating system.

Main Components of an SVR NF Piling System

SVR NF Crane-Suspended Vibro Hammer

The vibro hammer generates the vibratory force required for pile driving and extraction. The SVR NF range provides different capacities for varying pile dimensions, soil conditions and project scales.

High eccentric moment and vibration amplitude make the series suitable for operations where substantial energy must be transferred into steel pipe piles or sheet piles.

OMS Hydraulic Power Pack

SVR NF vibro hammers operate with matched OMS hydraulic power packs. The power pack supplies the hydraulic flow and power required by the vibration system and auxiliary clamp circuit.

OMS power units incorporate control systems that allow operating parameters and system status to be monitored. Depending on the configuration, operation can be managed through the touchscreen panel or wired and wireless remote-control options.

The recommended power pack depends on the selected SVR NF model:

SVR NF modelRecommended OMS power pack
SVR 25 NFPP 320
SVR 30 NFPP 380
SVR 50 NFPP 536
SVR 80 NFPP 768
SVR 82 NFPP 768
SVR 120 NFPP 1072
SVR 200 NFPP 1536

Important: These are catalogue pairings. Final configuration must also account for hose arrangement, project conditions and any application-specific auxiliary requirements.

Hydraulic Clamps for Pipe Piles

OMS KCN Series hydraulic clamps are designed for tube and casing applications.

Depending on the pipe diameter and SVR NF model, double or multiple clamp configurations may be used. The catalogue pairings for the specified range are:

SVR NF modelRecommended Clamps for Casing
SVR 25 NFKCN 60 × 2
SVR 30 NFKCN 60 × 2
SVR 50 NFKCN 90 × 2
SVR 80 NFKCN 185 × 2
SVR 82 NFKCN 185 × 2
SVR 120 NFKCN 185 × 2
SVR 200 NFKCN 185 × 4

Pipe diameter, wall thickness, lifting method and clamp beam design must be verified before confirming the configuration.

Hydraulic Clamps for Sheet Piles

OMS SCN Series hydraulic clamps provide the connection between the vibro hammer and the sheet pile. The fixed and movable jaw arrangement applies hydraulic clamping force to the pile, allowing vibration and extraction force to be transmitted through the clamped section.

The standard catalogue pairings include:

SVR 25 NFSCN 120
SVR 30 NFSCN 120
SVR 50 NFSCN 165
SVR 80 NFSCN 350
SVR 82 NFSCN 200
SVR 120 NFSCN 350
SVR 200 NFApplication-specific evaluation required

Frequently Asked Questions

Can SVR NF vibro hammers drive and extract both pipe piles and sheet piles?

Yes. The system can be configured for pipe piles with KCN clamps and for sheet piles with SCN clamps. The correct configuration depends on pile dimensions and the selected vibro hammer model.

Are SVR NF models resonance-free?

No. SVR NF models are normal-frequency vibro hammers. Projects requiring resonance-free starting and stopping should be evaluated using the OMS SVR VM variable-moment range.

How is the correct SVR NF model selected?

Selection depends on pile type, pile weight, dimensions, soil conditions, driving depth, extraction requirements, clamp configuration, crane capacity and hydraulic power requirements.

Can the same vibro hammer be used for driving and extraction?

Yes, provided the hammer, clamp, crane and power pack are correctly selected for both operating conditions.

Why is the hydraulic clamp important?

The clamp transfers vibration and pulling force from the hammer to the pile. Incorrect clamp selection or poor jaw engagement can reduce performance and create operational risk.
