The CV1A Electric-Powered Flex-Shaft Drive Vibrator Motor is a powerhouse choice for modern concrete contractors and finishers seeking efficient, reliable, and heavy-duty vibration performance in a lightweight, jobsite-ready format. Engineered by Multiquip, the CV1A sets the industry standard for electric flex-shaft vibrator motors, optimally pairing robust performance with operator comfort and flexibility for a wide array of concrete vibration tasks.

Product Overview: CV1A Electric-Powered Flex-Shaft Drive Vibrator Motor

This 1 HP, 115V motor was designed specifically for pencil head vibrators (up to 1-1/16" diameter), but it's compatible with a variety of steel heads and shaft configurations. Engineered for work in medium- and high-slump concrete, it excels at small pours, slabs, driveways, stem walls, and footings—making it a go-to tool for general construction and specialist finishing.

Key Features and Advantages

• Heavy-Duty 1 HP Electric Motor: Dependable 115V/10 Amp design delivers sustained high-frequency vibration with a no-load speed up to 22,000 RPM, leading the class for power and performance in challenging site conditions.

• Cassette Style Motor: Minimizes friction and maintains optimal RPM—reducing wear, boosting durability, and ensuring longevity even with regular heavy-duty use.

• Quick-Disconnect Knob: Provides tool-free removal and installation of flex shafts for maximum field efficiency and serviceability, saving contractors time when swapping out heads or shafts.

• Vibration-Isolated Handles: Large handles shield both motor and operator from excessive vibration, greatly improving comfort on long-duration pours and decreasing operator fatigue.

• Strain Relief & Flow-Through Ventilation: Built-in cord strain relief prevents power cord pullouts, while flow-through ventilation routes cool air through the rear, reducing dust and debris build-up and boosting component lifespan.

• UL-Compliant: Subjected to comprehensive testing for safety and product confidence; meets both US and Canadian standards.

• Flexible Shaft Compatibility: Available with flexible shafts from 2 to 21 feet, ideal for a wide range of vibration heads (7/8" to 1-1/16" diameter), letting crews cover any slab, wall, or small footing with ease.

• Lightweight Design: At just 11 pounds, the CV1A is convenient to transport, set up, and operate, seamlessly integrating into the workflow of busy crews.

Performance Benefits

The CV1A excels at consolidation in small pours, medium- to high-slump mixes, stem walls, decks, footings, and slabs where uniform vibration, reliable power, and easy setup are essential. Quick-disconnect or snap coupler systems let users switch shaft length or head diameter in seconds—maximizing productivity and reducing downtime.

The cassette-style motor not only boosts durability and RPM consistency, but also makes field upkeep easy: replace worn brushes, clean the housing, and flush the vent system for multi-year service intervals.

Durability and Maintenance

• Steel construction: Withstands tough jobsite conditions.

• Dust-resistant, flow-through housing: Reduces contamination—perfect for concrete dust environments.

• Accessible service points: Brush replacement and cord/vent cleaning can be done on-site; strain relief cord grommet ensures wire longevity.

• UL/CSA compliance: Built for North American worksite standards; field-proven for reliability, safety, and value.

Ideal Applications

• Concrete slab finishing in commercial and residential building

• Driveway, porch, and sidewalk pours

• Stem walls, deck forms, and footings

• Equipment rental fleets requiring universal 115V compatibility
