Linear vibration welding physically moves one of two parts horizontally under pressure, creating heat through surface friction that melts and welds the parts together. Compared to ultrasonic welding, vibration welding operates at much lower frequencies, higher amplitudes and much greater clamping force. Linear vibration welders are designed with electromagnetic heads that eliminate wear and lubrication associated with bearing surfaces.

Vibration welders are useful in automotive assembly applications such as door panels, intake manifolds, instrument panels, tail lights and lenses, fluid reservoirs and bumpers. Aviation applications include HVAC ducts, air diverter valves, interior lighting and overhead storage bins. Appliance manufacturers may use vibration welders for dishwasher pumps and spray arms, detergent dispensers and vacuum cleaner housings. Accessories applications are business and consumer toner cartridges, point-of-purchase displays, display stands and shelves. Vibration welders may also assemble chainsaw housings and power tools. Medical applications will include surgical instruments, filters and I-V units, bedpans and insulated trays.
